Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
02
Step
8 mins
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 6-8 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
03
Step
1 mins
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly. Return the potatoes to the pot and mash with a potato masher or ricer until smooth.
04
Step
1 mins
Stir in the sautéed onions, turmeric, salt, pepper, and cumin. Gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, or more as needed, until the potatoes reach your desired creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
