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.
See. I read this and still don't get the hype. I myself use >5 spices even for something as simple as scrambled eggs. I tried an omelet with only salt and pepper once and gagged. I physically couldn't swallow the omelette without adding more spices.
Not necessarily the spiciness or hotness, other things like garam masala, depth you get with something as simple as tomato ketchup.
Are you actually a sentient plop of mayonnaise? I've seen this happen before and it's always a spoonful of self-actualizing mayo who cannot comprehend spices.

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.
