I am frying the Jamaican Salt Cod Fish Fritters later today with Greek style infused garlic mashed potatoes and sliced beets, as well as a tomato and smoked mozzarella salad with oil, vinegar, and Greek oregano.
Some Greek Retsina wine will be enjoyed along with some freshly baked Semolina bread which I made yesterday.
I already posted the above recipe on this forum a while back, but if anyone else would like to have it please advise.
So what are my QVC pals planning to cook today?
P.S. Goldie I wish I could express some to you dear friend, because they are light and as delicious as our Greek bakalaros fried cod fish cakes and fritters.

Here you go Boop ......enjoy!
Skordalia Greek Garlic Mashed Potato
It’s easiest to make this in a food processor or blender, but the traditional method of beating the ingredients in a mortar with a pestle would work just as well. My Vita Mix works wonders on this recipe for the Skordalia, as does my Kitchen Aid 13 cup food processor.
I used to use the old fashioned version of using the mortar and pestle, but for expediency sake I now resort to either kitchen appliances.
Skordalia: Total Time: 30 Minutes
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Add the salt to a large pot of water. Peel the potatoes and boil in salted water until well done (easily pierced with a fork). Drain.
Sprinkle the potatoes with pepper and mash.
In the blender bowl of the food processor (or with a hand mixer), purée the potatoes and garlic until well mixed, about 30-45 seconds. Still pureeing, slowly add the olive oil and vinegar, alternating between them, tasting as you go, until the mixture is smooth. Skorthalia should be creamy and thick. If it gets too thick, add a little cold water (not more than 1/4 cup).
Yield: About 2-3 cups
To prepare by hand:
Mash potatoes with garlic. Drizzle in the olive oil and vinegar slowly, alternating between them, mashing well. Add pepper. This version may be grainier, but the taste is wonderful!
Note: Skordalia is a matter of taste. Some prefer a mild garlic taste, while others prefer a strong garlic taste. If the taste is too strong, adjust the quantities of potatoes or bread up a bit. If the taste is not strong enough, increase the garlic.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes.......various options:
1) Make fresh mashed potatoes with roasted garlic squeezed into them and then add your salt, pepper, butter, milk or cream and whip them well.
2) Add minced fresh garlic cloves (about 5), and continue with same as above.
3) Add dried garlic spice and whip them well, etc.

I made a sandwich for lunch, sprouted wheat bread with hummus, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, red bell pepper and tomato. Later we are grilling some chicken wings and I'm making a salad.

Your Easter Feast on another discussion thread has me thinking that when I grocery shop again next week, I'm going to pick up eggplant and make moussaka. Haven't decided on the entire menu as yet. Thank you!!
