If one likes the flavor of celery as Mrs Willie & I do, we now make our mashed potatoes from a 50/50 mix of red potatoes & celery root.

FANTASTIC flavor

I was watching a favorite vlogger on YouTube, Atomic Shrimp, and he added butter, sage, chives and a raw egg. Id never seen a raw egg used before.

That seems like champ with an egg added. Have you tried champ? I don't think the egg is needed, assuming it is a side to something else.

And most pierogies are stuffed with cheese anyway so at least that is in the ballpark.
Have you ever tried these?

They are really amazing. Before I had, I thought it seems strange, maybe good but then once I had, it tastes so much better than I could have expected.

We've switched to using red potatoes almost exclusively for mashed potatoes - nobody here likes peeling potatoes and with the red potatoes, the skins are barely noticeable.

Mashed potatoes must be mashed by hand, not pureed to baby food with a blender or mixer. Texture matters. Salt, chives from the garden, butter, whole milk, probably some grated cheese, or sour cream if there's some in the house.
