    How to Make Ahead and Store

    You can make many of these steak side dish recipes ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for a few days or even in the freezer for up to 3 months. Otherwise, you can prepare the ingredients and store in the refrigerator until ready to assemble and/or cook. Check the individual recipes for full make ahead and storing instructions. 

    To reheat, place any leftovers in the air fryer or the oven at 300F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through, or on the stovetop over medium-low heat (depending on the recipe). If heating from frozen, let it thaw first and then reheat.

    Description

    Over 25 popular best side dishes for steak including all the potato side dishes, roasted veggies, air fryer side dishes, side salads, bread rolls, and more. One of my favorite steak side dishes are these garlic mashed potatoes.


    Ingredients

    • 2 lbs. Yukon gold or russet potatoes
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • ½ cup unsalted butter (+1 tablespoon for garnish)
    • ¼ cup sour cream
    • ½ cup whole milk
    • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
    • fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

    Instructions

    1. Place potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot and cover with salted water to cover potatoes by about an inch. Heat over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are soft when you insert a fork.
    2. Drain and place back in the pot. Use a potato masher (or a fork) to mash the potatoes and garlic.
    3. Add in butter and sour cream and mix together with a spoon, until melted and incorporated into the potatoes. Stir in the milk and add salt and pepper, to taste.
    4. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish, garnish with parsley, extra butter and serve warm.
