What herbs or spices would be good in mashed potatoes?
I am trying to replicate chef Paul Prudomme’s mashed potatoes but he uses his spice blend that he sells and I do not want to buy. I am going to mash the potatoes and then saute the herbs in butter then and cream and pour into potatoes. I don’t want new recipes, I want to use this one I just need some suggestions for herbs or spices to use

garlic is a must ….. any of the following finely minced, fresh herbs would be good: parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary … and either sea salt or Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper. Butter should be REAL butter
TX2step is a very clever girl. If I was that smart about cooking, I would weigh 500 lbs! You go girl!
Look on the label of the spice blend to see which exact spices he uses.
roasted garlic
chives
nutmeg
most fresh herbs
cajun spice
lemon pepper
old bay seasoning
sour cream
grated cheddar
bacon
This is my favorite dish, and there are lots of different ways to make this. One way is to had oregano and paprika, the usual(butter, mike), you can also add a dollap of sour cream to make a creamy dish!!
Definitely roasted whole garlic, parsley, & maybe paprika.

Well, since you don’t have your favorite Chef’s seasonings, then I guess you have to make your own famous Mashed Potatoes with some seasonings of your own! Any of the following would be absolutely delicious:
Salt and Pepper (I use white pepper for smashers, but you can use any pepper you like, even crushed red peppers if you like some heat) Unsalted Butter, Fresh Garlic, finely diced red/white onions, onion powder, garlic powder, chives, scallions, rosemary, thyme, oregano,flat leaf or regular parsley, cilantro, chicken/vegetable base, cayenne, celery seed, horseradish (one of my favs) paprika or tarragon.
I have used all of these seasonings (in several different combinations)in my Mashed Potatoes over the years and these are my favorites, so best of luck and happy experimenting in what you and your family likes!
Just Philadelphia Herb and Garlic Cream cheese and chives!
I like chopped garlic chives myself. Also Caesar Rim is good sprinkled on them I discovered one day.
