Potatoes and cheese, how can you go wrong? I had a goat cheese with herbs and garlic in it, which I felt went well. My regular chives have frozen, but a few blades of garlic chives were still protected, so that is what I used. This is such an easy twist on plain mashed potatoes that I can see myself making them often.
