Serve These Sides With Prime Rib to Make Your Dinner Extra Special

Ree Drummond is a big fan of prime rib—especially for the holidays (or any celebratory occasion for that matter). "I'm not sure there's anything more special and delicious at Christmastime than a beautiful, perfectly cooked piece of roast beef," Ree says. She likes to serve it up with a nice assortment of vegetable side dishes, like potatoes, mushrooms, and Brussels sprouts—but let's be honest, you could serve prime rib with just about anything and it would still be delicious. Of course, if you want your Christmas sides to be just as special as the roast itself, read on! We've collected all the best side dishes for prime rib to pair perfectly with the main meat.

Once you have the prime rib cooking, it's time to start making your tasty accompaniments. Choose from a variety of potato recipes—including mashed, roasted, and twice-baked potatoes—or opt for a winter vegetable, like Brussels sprouts, carrots, and butternut squash. There's also plenty of bread, like garlic-herb dinner rolls and cheesy monkey bread. And while many of these side dishes will look as occasion-worthy as the roast itself, we made sure to include some easy-to-make options and Instant Pot recipes, too. Whether you opt for something starchy or something green, there's bound to be a side dish on this list to go with your holiday centerpiece.
