Salt and pepper
Boil potatoes until tender, drain. Add butter a to the pot. Add the chicken stock and sugar. Mash potatoes. Season with nutmeg, salt, pepper , to your taste. Mash to combine spices and serve.
** I add a little of the chicken stock at a time, till I get the texture I want.

I do the same thing with a box of cake mix (yellow or spice) and a can of pumpkin. I make muffins and top them with a streusel topping.

1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup plain pumpkin
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350. Thoroughly mix the flour, sugar, pie spice, baking soda and powder and salt in a large bowl. Break eggs into another bowl, add pumpkin and butter and whisk until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour over dry ingredients and fold in with a rubber spatula. Pour into muffin pan lined with cupcake liners and bake 20-25 minutes or until puffy and springy to the touch.
* I use 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon ginger in place of the pie spice*
