For the best prime rib dinner, I always plan my sides around the beef roast. Holiday dinners are something I look forward to every year, and the best way to keep it stress-free is to plan ahead of time.
My list of side dishes for prime rib is actually a personal list I reference every year, and this year I thought it was about time I share it with you! You will find everything you need for an amazing roast beef dinner on this list, from everyone’s favorite mashed potatoes to green bean almondine and more. Enjoy!

Instructions
- Heat a 6 qt. Instant Pot and add 2.5 lbs. peeled whole potatoes.
- Cover halfway with water (do not fully submerge them). Add 2 teaspoons salt to the water.
- Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
- Release the pressure naturally. Carefully remove the inside pot and drain, then return to the cooker.
- Use a hand mixer on low to mash them, but be careful not to over-mix. Add in ½ a stick of butter 1 tablespoon at a time while continuing to blend.

Notes
- Add even more flavor to your potatoes by including chopped green onions and additional butter!
- No need to cut your potatoes. After peeling, you can cook them whole in the Instant Pot. That’s part of what makes this recipe so convenient!
- Be careful not to over-mix. If you mix them on too high of a speed or for too long, they will come out gluey! Mix gently.
