Ingredients

  • 8 large potatoes (about 6-1/2 pounds), peeled and cubed
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon plus 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted

Directions

  2. Meanwhile, mince garlic; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Mash garlic with flat side of the knife blade, forming a smooth paste. In a small bowl, whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic mixture and remaining salt until blended.
