🥔 Potato sides
Whenever someone asks me what goes good with pot roast, I always start with potatoes! You can serve creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the gravy, crispy seasoned potatoes to add texture, or even step outside of the box with baked sweet potatoes. These are absolutely essential pot roast sides!
🥕 Vegetable sides
There are so many vegetables to go with roast beef dinner! If you’re shooting for a more classic menu, I suggest green beans and pan roasted corn. But oven-roasted broccoli and crispy Brussel’s sprouts also make good options.
🥖 Bread sides
There are good sides for pot roast, and then there are the BEST sides for pot roast. Breads fall into the best category for me. Since this is a classic yet hearty meal, you don’t need anything extravagant. Simple dinner rolls or tender biscuits will do perfectly.
