What potential topping options can be added to the mashed potatoes?

Mashed potatoes at Texas Roadhouse can be enhanced with several toppings to create a more flavorful dish, and chili and cheese is one of the classic choices that complements the creamy texture of the potatoes. This combination not only adds richness and heartiness but also incorporates contrasting flavors—spicy chili with gooey cheese—creating a comforting and satisfying side.

Other toppings like ranch dressing or pesto and olive oil, while popular in different contexts, do not typically align with the established offerings for mashed potatoes at Texas Roadhouse. Likewise, French fries, though a delicious side on their own, are not a topping option for mashed potatoes. Thus, the combination of chili and cheese stands out as the most appropriate enhancement for the mashed potatoes on the menu.
