"This Greek appetizer is one I serve without telling people what it is. Everyone loves it. There's nothing scary in here, but for some reason people react interestingly when they ask what it is before trying it! So come on - try it! I'm pretty sure you'll like it... Warning though - make sure everyone is eating it, because you ALL will have garlic breath. DON'T USE RUSSET POTATOES! Makes 2 cups."
