Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes (about 1-1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 8-12 minutes. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, jalapeno and ginger; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Add turmeric; cook 1 minute longer.
