How to Add Spices to Mashed Potatoes

"Hi my name is Allen Diwan and I am the owner and chef of Kashmir restaurant in Budapest. We are here on behalf of Expert Village. The dish that we are going to make is a spicy mashed potato with leeks. So we are going to wait for the oil to be hot. When it's hot enough, we add our leeks to it. We are going to fry the leeks slightly, and add a bit more of oil. Once the leeks start to get a nice color we are going to add our spices. We are going to add some salt to it, a little bit of chili powder (not so much), and a little bit of turmeric. The turmeric gives it a nice flavor, but also we are looking for a nice color from the turmeric."
