Mashed potatoes are a traditional side dish for a classic pot roast, but add sweet peas for a little extra veg and color. Russet potatoes are excellent in this side dish, but any potato works in a pinch.

★★★★☆
I've never been a fan of mashed potatoes. They always seem bland. I do love the "green" element of this recipe with the addition of peas and chives.
