Peel the potatoes, cut them into large pieces, and boil in salted water for 18 minutes until tender.
Add the spinach to the pot during the final 3 minutes and let it wilt.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Drain and mash the potatoes and spinach.
Add the corn, peas, onion oil, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the mukimo to a warm mash consistency and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not overboil the greens with the potatoes; adding them in the final minutes keeps the color bright.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mukimo warm like a mash with an olive oil tomato salad and optional spiced vegetable stew.
