Preparation

  1. Peel and cube potatoes into 1-1 1/2-inch pieces (225 g worth is about 1 small/medium potato).
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Salt the water, approximately 1 tsp salt/quart of water.
  3. Simmer over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and allow the excess steam to evaporate for 5 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare your chickpeas. Combine drained chickpeas with 2 cups of water and 1/4 tsp baking soda. Simmer for 10 minutes over low/medium heat. This will soften the chickpeas and allow you to remove the skin easily (if you desire) to create a smoother and creamier end result. After 10 minutes, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Once slightly cooled, option to remove the skin if you desire.
  5. At this stage, the potatoes and chickpeas should be cooled but not refrigerator cold.
  6. In a food processor, combine the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin. Process for 60 seconds until thickened.
  7. Add chickpeas and process for 60-90 seconds until combined. Then add the cooked and cooled potato cubes. Process for 30 seconds or until smooth. Do not overmix. Slowly stream in the olive oil while blending.
  8. Add the ice water to the hummus. Start with 3 tbsp and increase up to 5 tbsp as needed. This will create a smoother and richer texture.
    1. If the hummus is a bit thicker/gummier at this stage – add 80 g more rinsed and drained chickpeas and blend OR refrigerate for 15 minutes and re-blend with a splash of water.
  9. Taste and adjust flavors based on your preferences. Garnish with za’atar, lemon zest, lemon juice, or a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
