Mashed Potato Green Bean Casserole is a delicious combination of two of my favorite Thanksgiving sides. On the bottom, a creamy layer of mashed potatoes covered by a cheesy green bean casserole. Each one tastes incredible on its own, but even better when combined into one extraordinary side.

I boil my potatoes in vegetable broth and water. I also mix in 1 tbsp. Garlic Paste. 1 tbsp. Sugar. 1/4 Cup finely chopped red onion. 1/8th cup shredded white cheddar cheese. A stick of REAL butter. This is for 5 lb. Bag of russett potatoes (10 potatoes total) 1 tbsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. 1/= cup to 1/2 cup whole milk warm or room temperature. I NEVER use a mixer. Makes potatoes gummy. I use a hand masher and don’t over do it.
I do not add milk. I add both sour cream and cream cheese in its’ place. So good and creamy.
I love this sound and look of this dish… but when it comes to Mashed Potatoes… I’m and Old Fart… will eat anything in front of me…. Like all the ideas here…. but for me… Melted Butter and Salt and Pepper… ♥
when I make mashed potatoes I use evaporated milk instead of cream then the usual butter, salt and pepper. after reading several recipes in this posting, the next time I will use mayonnaise instead of butter!
Has anyone tried using sweet potatoes?
A favorite weeknight quick-fix is to mix corn niblets and creamed corn together for a gravy on our mashed potatoes…. lots of butter of course 🙂
I love to add sour cream & chives to my mashed potatoes
My potatoes always get LOTS of garlic and cheddar, sometimes parmesan, and bit of water or skim milk if too thick. Have been looking for recipes to use my bountiful bean harvest, so this looks like a winner
I love to add chopped scallions, salt and pepper, a little horseradish, and sour cream. Delicious and a little different. People will ask what is that great taste in the potatoes.
Sharp cheddar, chives and garlic!
I absolutely love blue cheese with my potatoes! That’s only if I’m making them just for myself though, for my family I like to add chives and sour cream.
This seems flawless, why change a thing?
I love making mashed potatoes with mushroom and spinach gravy.
I love to add bacon, cheese and a little serrano pepper to my mashed potatoes. So good!
I love to use chicken broth, garlic and salt to flavor my mashed potatoes!
I love to add garlic to mashed potatoes and top with a butercrumb topping also! So yummy. Sometimes I like to dice some scallions for the top as well. I just love mashed potatoes.
I love adding garlic and cheese to my mashed potatoes.
I like to add roasted garlic and cheese.
I like to leave the skins on.
Garlic mashed potatoes have to be my favorite! My cousin is making them today and I can’t wait! There’s so much garlic, yum!! Happy Thanksgiving!
I like to add roasted garlic to mashed potatoes. Yummy!
REAL BUTTER! I grew up calling margarine “butter” and ever had the real stuff until I was an adult. Never have gone back!
I agree, Gina. Butter tastes so much better than margarine!
Lots of butter.
I like to add cheddar cheese to mashed potatoes.
I’m a fan of traditional mashed potatoes, but gravy and LOTS of black pepper are a must!
I like to add white cheddar cheese, garlic and siracha
I use sour cream and lots of butter!
I like to make loaded mashed potatoes sort of like loaded baked potatoes. I add: cheese, milk/cream, sour cream, chives, butter, and bacon.
Gravy for the win! But if I can’t have gravy, dill and butter are pretty great 🙂
Definitely gravy for my mashed potatoes!
Garlic, butter and salt, or if it’s Thanksgiving, gravy!
This must seem weird but I loooove some Brie melting on my mashed potatoes!!
There’s nothing like homemade gravy for mashed potatoes
We always add parmesan cheese and we sometimes will add grilled onions.
I like flavoring them with garlic, butter and fresh herbs!
These potatoes have some real razzle dazzle! I could pretty much just have mashed potatoes for supper, and you’re getting me one step closer to actually being able to call them a meal and get away with it. Because people make meals out of sides, right? I wouldn’t just be eating potatoes anymore. ?
Butter and roasted garlic…..
A little cream, a fair amount of butter and a sprinkle of salt and I’m set! Especially if there’s fresh turkey gravy to ladle over them.
This looks so delicious and easy! Will have to try. Thanks for the giveaway too!
Thanks for the giveaway and great recipe. Unfortunately, I do know a kid who doesn’t like mashed potatoes and for the life of me, I can’t figure out why. I’ve tried them every kid friendly way you can imagine. Anyway, I like to add roasted garlic to my mashed potatoes. Since the munchkin won’t eat them, I only make them for the grown ups and we like lots of garlic, lol.
COPIOUS butter and rosemary. we like a little seasoned salt too. 🙂
My favorite way to flavor up my mashed potatoes is with roasted garlic.
I like to add blue cheese to mashed potatoes, so decadent!
