Step 1
Start by putting the potatoes in a large pot and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and let the potatoes cook until they’re tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, which should take 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 it until it’s soft and just starting to brown, around 6 minutes. Once the potatoes are done, drain them and mash them up. Stir in the cooked onion, then add the turmeric, salt, pepper, and cumin. Finally, drizzle in the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil and mix everything together, adding more or less oil depending on how creamy you like your mashed potatoes.

How to serve
Serve alongside grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad to create a well-rounded meal. They pair especially well with lamb or chicken dishes seasoned with similar spices. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or broth to restore creaminess. Avoid freezing, as the texture may become grainy after thawing.
