You seem to be implying that you put nutmeg in mashed potatoes as a matter of routine.

Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It's subtle though. It's often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven't added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?

I like to put a little bit of nutmeg in mushroom soup. It adds a little more dimension to the flavor.

I add the tiniest bit of nutmeg to my alfredo sauce. It adds to the complexity of the sauce.

Wait, isn't it very common? I always thought of the nutmeg+potatoes as a very common combination

Not sure about mash, but definitely have noticed it frequently in scalloped/cheesy potatoes

As most of the time, it depends on the country!
