Instructions
The night before, soak pinto beans in a large bowl of water. The beans will absorb most of the water during the night, make sure there is plenty of water and the beans have room to "grow".
After 12-24 hours, drain the water, rinse the beans and pour into a large stockpot.
Fill with enough water to cover the beans. Add in the whole garlic cloves, onion, and cumin.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 2 hours, until the beans are tender.
Once fork tender, add 1 teaspoon of real salt, more or less depending on taste.
Remove the onion (it was just for flavor) and strain most of the water. You will want about 1 cup of water remaining with the beans.
Using a potato masher, mash, mash, mash away!
