Ingredients

• 1 onion, diced
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
• 10 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until tender and can be pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet, and heat over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and cook until translucent and lightly browned, about 6 minutes.

Step 3

Drain water from the potatoes, and mash. Stir in the onion, and continue mashing. Mix in the turmeric, salt, pepper, and cumin. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, or amount desired to make the potatoes more or less creamy.
