In my experience, it's not about what you add in (though actual cream has never hurt), rather how you make it. My mashed potatoes suddenly started coming out perfect every time when I began using a ricer to make them.

A potato ricer is great. I also mash very well with butter and milk (if dairy) or some of the cooking water and oil/sauteed garlic for pareve or clear chicken broth for meat.

Best & easiest idea is mayonnaise! Yum! Add spices to your liking.

I leave a little bit water and add mayonnaise, salt, and white pepper.
The scoops come out beautiful, and white, and are delicious creamy!

I add butter to a milky dish, and cauliflower to a meaty one (because I try to stay far away from margarine). Both come out deliciously creamy.

Easy way without adding any extra fat and keeping it pareve (if you want):

When you drain the potatoes after boiling, reserve a cup of the water. Then as you mash, add from that water until you reach desired consistency. I use this all the time and my mashed potatoes come out very creamy Smile

Use Yukon Gold potatoes and one of the above suggestions depending on dairy/meat.

Yukon potatoes, a little bit of oil or smart balance and salt plus an immersion blender. A few pulses and it's instantly creamy.... plus little cleanup.

I add a dash of soy milk and olive oil. The Yukon Gold potatoes do make it a great texture.

Soy milk and margarine or milk and butter. Plus sauteed onions.
I'm not crazy about the water...it's smooth but not full bodied.

I mash them with earth balance and almond milk with salt to taste. Very tasty and smooth...making me hungry 😀

Never heard of adding mayo to mashed potatoes. Does it change the taste? I don't really like mayo tasting stuff, will I taste it here?
