The holidays can be super hectic and when it comes to Thanksgiving Dinner there are so many different requests for side dishes. For our family, we seem to enjoy the Thanksgiving side dishes more than the turkey.
But not all Thanksgiving side dishes need to wait until Thanksgiving either. We combined two of our family favorites into one great side dish. On top of our Green Beans Casserole we added a layer of Yummy Mashed Potatoes.
Not only does this recipe save room on the table, the kids just gobbled it up. Green Bean Casserole with Mashed Potato Topping Recipe is waiting to be a showcase plate on your dinner table.
SHORT CUT HOIDAY CASSEROLES
At our house at Thanksgiving we have two requests, sweet and mashed potatoes. With this recipe you get Two Thanksgiving Side Dishes in One and won’t mind making two types of potatoes.
The short cut for this recipe is the use of Idaho Spuds. They have five downright delicious flavors that are very flexible for your Thanksgiving side dish recipes.
Green Beans Casserole with Mashed Potato Topping:
We don’t always have time to make all our recipes from scratch. So having a little short cut for a busy time like Thanksgiving, really comes in handy.
Simply mix your Idaho Spuds with water and watch it puff into that fluffy white stuff everyone loves, especially over the holidays.
Meanwhile, prepare your green bean casserole by heating up frozen green beans and adding the condensed soup mixture.
Stir in the all time favorite, fried crispy onions.
Bake according to the recipe then add a layer of your Idaho Spuds to the top of the green beans.
Top your mashed potatoes with more crispy onions and cook until warm.

Oh, I might make this for thanksgiving. Looks super yummy!
Oh yes yes yes! My kids love Green bean casserole. love the addition of adding potatoes
Wow, Maria! Two of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes together. I would not have thought to combine these two but I’m going to give it a try this year. Yummy!
P.S. I’m on my way to enter the Idaho contest now. I’d love to go!
Now that’s some comfort food right there. I can see everyone in the house here asking for seconds.
The idea of combining mashed potatoes with green bean casserole is brilliant! We are all about the side dishes on Thanksgiving too!
I probably couldn’t stop eating this once I started.. yum!
Thanks for this recipe. I might just need to make this and bring to my mom on Thanksgiving.
I am absolutely thinking about Thanksgiving already and this side dish is perfect! I love combining the two for one even better side! Yummy!
Being a Brit, I’ve never experienced Thanksgiving but it is so something I would love to do one day. I must say, of all the side dishes I’ve seen (like that sweet potato marshmallow thang!) this truly looks superb and something I would really love to eat 😀 I’ll definitely be trying this one 😀
IT was a big winner in our house.
kids can be so funny with food.
Love green bean casserole and love mashed potatoes but never thought to mix the two together!
Will have to pin this for when the kids get a little older. They aren’t a big fan of food “touching” and this would qualify. Ha ha!!
