Ingredients

  • 10 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric

  • 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste

  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

  • In a large pot, add the potatoes and water to cover the potatoes completely. Bring the pot to a boil using medium-high heat. Cook for 20 minutes or until a potato cube is tender when pierced with a fork.

  • In the meantime, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for 6 minutes or until light brown and translucent.

  • After the potatoes are cooked, drain the water. Mash the potatoes using a masher or a fork. Add the onion and stir and mash. Add the turmeric, salt, pepper, and cumin and stir. To make potatoes creamier, add an additional 2 tablespoons of olive oil and stir. If more is desired for a creamier texture, add to taste.
