Green Goddess Mashed Potatoes bring together a creamy, herb-infused twist on classic mashed potatoes, blending basil, dill, parsley, and chives to create a vivid green that’s both delicious and perfect for the fall season.

They’re easy to make, add a pop of spooky green to your dinner table, and a vibrant touch to any Halloween spread. Serve them with a Halloween Jack O’ Lantern Chicken Pot Pie for a fun and festive holiday meal.

These herby mashed potatoes aren’t just for Halloween—they’re packed with so much flavor, you’ll want to make them all year round.

Helpful Tips

Achieve a Bright Green Color: If you are looking for a vibrant green color that your herbs don’t quite achieve, add a drop or two of green food coloring to the mix.
Smooth Texture Hack: For the smoothest mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer or food mill before adding the herb mixture.
Herby Flavor: The great thing about this recipe is that you can mix and match green herbs according to what you like. Try different flavor combinations for a slightly different taste every time.
