Ingredients
22 new potatoes, about 1 kg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp to 1 tbsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup water
8 cups baby spinach
Instructions
Wash and scrub unpeeled potatoes. Cut each into 1/4-in.- (0.5-cm-) thick rounds. Heat oil in a large heavy frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add onion. Stir frequently, until onion begins to soften, 5 to 7 min. Sprinkle with turmeric, 1 tsp (5 mL) salt and cayenne. Stir until evenly mixed, 1 min. Add potatoes and 1/4 cup (50 mL) water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir potatoes until well coated. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 min. Gently stir potatoes and continue cooking until fork-tender, 5 to 12 more min. Stir in spinach 1 min before potatoes are done. Taste and add more salt, if you wish. Serve warm.

These golden potatoes are a popular alternative to rice at the restaurant. If you can't cut the potatoes thin enough, add a little extra water to the pan to ensure they cook thoroughly.
