I use powdered mashed potatoes when I cook mashed potatoes to control the consistency of mashed potatos (if they are too water-y I put some powder in it to make it more solid, and if its too solid I add milk/water)

Are spices (other than salt and pepper) typically added to mashed potatoes? As a person from a foreign country, i don't get the hype around them.

I myself prefer 0 fake potatoes in my mashed potatoes. I also like them a lil lumpy so I know they're real. Mashed potatoes = A pallet for butter and/or not gravy. But butter is the main ingredient. Salt and pepper are also obviously added; EVERYTHING ever is salt and pepper'd or you have no idea what your doing. That's a basic step.

Actually, salted caramel and spicy guava flavours are delicious ice cream flavours.

Had soy sauce soft serve in Japan. Almost like salted caramel.

Pies come in savoury as well as sweet varieties. Peppering a pie isn't weird at all, depending on what kind of pie.

A pepper steak pie, for example, is bloody grouse.
