    What a great way to turn mashed potatoes into a main dish! I could definitely see throwing this together on a busy weeknight. Time to go stock up on instant mashed potatoes!

    You can’t beat a perfect comfort food that is also so simple to prepare! I think this would go beautifully as a side dish to roasted chicken. I especially love that the starch and veggie is combined in one dish which means less to clean up on a busy work night. Thanks for sharing!
