- 1 12-ounce russet potato, peeled, quartered
- 3/4 cup walnuts, toasted
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- Assorted raw vegetables (such as carrots, radishes, and red and green bell peppers)
- Cook potato in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Cool completely. Blend nuts, cup oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano in processor 1/3 until almost smooth. Add potato, 1/3 cup oil and 2 tablespoons water. Using on/off turns, process just until potato is blended and mixture is creamy (do not over-process or mixture will become sticky).
- Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Mix in parsley. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Serve with vegetables.
