List of Ingredients
2 pound unpeeled baking (russet) potatoes
2 teaspoons table salt or 4 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 onions, chopped
1 to 2 cloves garlic, mashed
6 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black or white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 carrot, diced and steamed until tender
1 cup green peas or 4 scallions, sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantroRecipe
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Put the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add half the salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 25 minutes.
Drain and cool the potatoes, then peel and return to the pot. Mash well, but don't overmix.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over a medium flame. Add the onions and saute until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and saute an additional minute. Set aside.
One at a time, beat the eggs into the potatoes. Add the remaining salt, pepper and turmeric. Stir in the onions, carrot, peas and parsley.
Generously oil a shallow 8-cup baking dish, such as an 8-inch square dish. Place the dish in the oven and heat until hot, about 3 minutes. Spoon the potato mixture into the dish and bake until golden and set, about 50 minutes. Serve warm.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
