1 pound potatoes, peeled and boiled
5 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Mash cold potatoes until very fine, almost a puree.
2. Grind together garlic with salt and a small portion of the olive oil in a mortar and pestle to form a creamy texture.
3. Combine garlic oil and vinegar with potatoes, then gradually stir in remaining oil to form a smooth, thick sauce.
4. Serve hot or cold with grilled or fried fish or vegetables.
