I've found with mashed potatoes that simplicity wins the race...
I always do milk, butter (Which seems like a given to me, but it looks like you didn't use it. This could be why you feel it was lacking. Butter is where a lot of the flavor in mashed potatoes comes from.), a little salt 'n' peppa' (I like white pepper the best), and garlic in some form (If you use garlic salt, don't add additional salt). Also, I like red potatoes the best for mashing. There's no need to peel them, because the peels are very tasty and add a bit of nice color.
I also prefer a little cream cheese in my mashed potatoes, but this is not for everybody, it seems...
