That sounds like something Delia calls her "perfect mash potatoes", based on a french recipe for Aligot. Hers doesn't have cream in, but it I've made it and it it is flippin nice!

My favourite potato dish of all time is dauphinoise:

Sliced spuds
Cream
Crushed or minced fresh garlic (and pre-fried onions if you feel fancy)
Salt & Pepper for seasoning

Combine all the ingredients, and layer into a low, flat dish, bake for 45-60 mins at 160C until golden and potates are softened.

Serve with a side dish of medium rare chateaubriand and green veg (buttered sprouting broccoli is my current favourite).

Jeez this forum always makes me so hungry!

^^^ This.

Aligot has Comté cheese in it, if I recall.

However (imho) there isn't much to surpass Dauphinoise 'taters, in the society of fillet steak cooked rare, plus a good Nuits-St-Georges. lick

Now you're talking. A bit of frazzled pancetta / Black Forest ham would also work well I think.
