Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks, roughly 4 cm in size.
Fill a large pot with 1.5 liters of water, add about 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil.
Add the potato chunks to the boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, peel and finely dice the yellow onions.
In a large, deep skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onions to the skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden.
Reduce the heat to low, and add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the onions.
Using a wooden spoon, gently mash some of the potatoes to create a mix of softened chunks and mashed texture.
Sprinkle in the ground black pepper and paprika (if using), and adjust the salt to taste. Mix gently to combine all the flavors.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
Remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
