I’ve never used cinnamon on my potatoes, but I add it to some savory dishes like chill. The key is, cinnamon cuts through, so you need veeeeeeeery little.
Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It’s subtle though. It’s often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven’t added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?
PSA: Cinnamon and nutmeg look identical, but cinnamon in your mashed potatoes tastes weirdly christmas-y. I tested it, sadly.

You seem to be implying that you put nutmeg in mashed potatoes as a matter of routine.
I most certainly do!

I like to put a little bit of nutmeg in mushroom soup. It adds a little more dimension to the flavor.
Wait, isn’t it very common? I always thought of the nutmeg+potatoes as a very common combination
It is not.
Not sure about mash, but definitely have noticed it frequently in scalloped/cheesy potatoes
LOL no.
As most of the time, it depends on the country!
