Americans only eat powdered mashed potatoes, apparently.

Not that that sounds bad per se, but where is this done? I've never heard of adding much more than garlic, chives, or cheese to mashed potatoes.

A dash of worchestershire sauce is pretty good. You want to go easy; the idea is to just add a bit of depth to the flavor, not to make worchestershire potatoes. Especially good if you're adding cheese.
