So are heavy cream and sour cream, especially if you snip some chives into the sour cream ones.

I also like cauliflower in my mashed potatoes, but I've found that the half and half mixture is texturally weird, it's better to hold the cauliflower to a third or even less.

I'm not awfully crazy about garlic in them unless there is a steak on my plate.
