Ingredients
- Peel and cube a generous amount of baking potatoes, around 10 in total. Drizzle them with just the right amount of olive oil, approximately 3 tablespoons, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Add in a finely diced onion to infuse a depth of flavor. Sprinkle over ground turmeric for a touch of warmth, followed by a measured amount of salt to enhance the taste. Enhance the seasoning with a sprinkle of ground black pepper and a hint of ground cumin to round off the flavors.
Step 1
In a bustling kitchen setting, start by gently nestling the potatoes in a generously sized pot, ensuring they are submerged in water. With a gradual rise in heat, let the water come to a lively boil. Allow the potatoes to simmer until they reach a delightful tenderness that allows a fork to glide through effortlessly, typically around 20 minutes.
Step 2
Simultaneously, in a separate skillet, drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil and let it dance over medium-high flames. Toss in the finely chopped onions and sauté them until they turn beautifully translucent with a hint of golden hue, taking approximately 6 minutes.
Step 3
Once the potatoes are ready, drain them thoroughly before embarking on a delightful mashing session. As you mash away, incorporate the caramelized onions for an added depth of flavor. Sprinkle in a medley of spices including turmeric, salt, pepper, and cumin to awaken the taste buds. To achieve your desired level of creaminess, gracefully blend in the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil, adjusting the quantity until reaching your preferred consistency.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your potatoes in a cool, dry place to prevent sprouting and maintain their freshness.
- 2. Use a well-ventilated storage container to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
- 3. Store any leftover potato mash in an airtight container to preserve its flavor and prevent drying out.
