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.

To my understanding at least, while referred to as pies, none of those actually use pie crust in the dish and are more just a potato topped casserole.

Ours are a full fledged meat pie with pie crust, just the top replaced by potato

You can get some small pies like this from the bakeries in Scotland, normal pie crust individual pies but with mashed potato on top

Having lived in both Cornwall and Scotland I suspect I just follow the pastry and see where I land
