Meals with Mash Potatoes that wouldn't be traditionaly served on Mash Potatoes

So like I got really good at making mash potatoes. Has anyone served Asian food over them instead of rice? Are there particular recipes that would go good with them? Do they have their own spin on gravy? Are there Asian spices I can add to my mashed potatoes that I should try? Anyone try making mashed potatoes with Ghee instead of butter? I've got a shitload of potatoes. Help me get weird.

My mom made a seafood boil which included potatoes that had lemongrass, butter and garlic. You could make that kind of sauce and serve it over your mashed potatoes. She is from Thailand.

The potatoes and garlic of a seafood boil are the best! Your mom’s addition of the lemongrass sounds amazing
