Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly oil a 4 x 10-inch (10 x 25 cm) loaf pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, letting it hang over two sides.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the onions in the oil with the turmeric. Season with salt and pepper and let cool.
- In a food processor, finely chop the potato and sweet potato. Add the cooked onions and the remaining ingredients. Purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture in the prepared pan in an even layer.
