Are you a potato lover like me? If so, you’ll love my fantastic Yukon potatoes with fried onions, garlic, cumin and turmeric.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 Yukon potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 tablespoon finely diced garlic (2 medium cloves)
- 2/3 cup finely diced onion (about half a medium onion)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (more if you want)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil as needed
- Parsley or cilantro, optional garnish
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces. They will cook more evenly if they are all the same size. I left the skin on, but you can peel if you want. Put potatoes in a pot of water and cook on high heat. Cook until tender. (about 20-25 minutes)
- Finely dice the garlic.
- Finely dice the onion.
- If you are using parsley or cilantro for a garnish, you can chop that now too. I already had chopped parsley on hand so I used that.
- Heat olive oil in pan on medium heat. You’ll need maybe a tablespoon of oil or slightly less. Add the onions and cook until they start turning brown which will take less than five minutes.
- Once onions are brown, add the garlic, cumin seeds, and turmeric to the pan. Mix well and cook for another minute being careful not to burn the garlic.
- After the potatoes are cooked through and tender, strain them in a colander and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the butter to the potatoes and give a stir. The heat will melt the butter.
- Add the onion mixture to the potato bowl along with salt and pepper to taste. I’d say start with a ¼ to ½ teaspoon of salt – it’s really about your own preference here. Same with the pepper. Stir well until everything is well combined and all the potatoes are coated.
- Put in a serving bowl and garnish with parsley or cilantro if you want.

- If you want to add some spice to this you could shake some red pepper flakes on top. OR dice some green chilis and cook with the onion mixture.
