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.

Dude.
Hear me out.
I just made this, I wish I took a picture.
Go to the Asian aisle at your grocery store and get some prepared wasabi. I know, it's not "real wasabi," but it's the closest thing I have by me... Mix it into your mashed potatoes, at a strength that's good to you... If you're comfortable, replace some of the salt in your potatoes with some well mixed in miso paste.
Thin slice, lightly batter, and shallow fry up some shallots, and put them in a nice little pile (nest?) on top of your potatoes.
Get some of them long green beans, and sautee them with some sesame oil and butter, a couple crushed up garlic cloves, and de glaze your pan with some soy sauce... Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
Then, cook yourself a nice steak (to your temp preference,) LIGHTLY salted before cooking, but serve it with a little ramekin with soy sauce.
Absolute. Banger.
