Reasons You'll Love It
This dish combines familiar comfort with exciting flavors. The warm spices add depth without overwhelming the creamy potatoes. It’s a perfect way to bring a little adventure to your dinner table.
Directions
Put the potatoes in a large pot and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then let the potatoes cook until they’re tender and easily pierced with a fork—this usually takes about 20 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s soft and just starting to brown, around 6 minutes. Once the potatoes are done, drain them well and mash them up in the pot or a bowl. Stir in the sautéed onions, then mix in the turmeric, salt, pepper, and cumin. Finally, drizzle in the remaining olive oil and mash everything together until you reach your preferred creamy texture. Adjust the seasoning if needed, and enjoy!
