Greek Garlic Sauce

    This recipe really intrigued me because I had never seen anything like this before. It was funny because we found the vinegar overpowering in the sauce when we tasted it on its own, but as a sauce or a dip for veggies, it was great! Definitely something I'd make again, and a great way to use up the last couple of potatoes. Thanks!
