How to Make Pashtida

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Peel and chop 2 lbs of potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Place them in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
  3. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and mash them until smooth.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs until light and frothy.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup finely chopped onion to the eggs.
  7. Gently fold in the mashed potatoes until everything is well combined.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crusty, and the potatoes pull away from the sides of the pan. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  10. Let the pashtida cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
