Everyone turn up the volume on Bobby Pickett’s Monster Mash and hit the kitchen to make this yummy side! I have been making my Easy Weeknight Wiener Schnitzel quite a bit lately and so, I decided to serve it the other night with a spooky side dish…my Monster Mash-ed Potatoes. Let’s be real, you can serve any potato and call it that for dinner, but if you want the recipe for my super yummy, loaded mashed potatoes, just look below. Only 16 days until Halloween!!!

Monster Mash-ed Potatoes!
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 4 to 6 1x
Description
My loaded mashed potatoes become even more spooktacular when you give them a fun name and serve them around Halloween!
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 red potatoes, quartered
- 1 (8 oz) container of sour cream
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 gloves of garlic, chopped finely
- 8 green onions, chopped
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked to a crisp and crumbled
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot, add in your quartered potatoes and then enough water to cover them. Bring this to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Boil until the potatoes are fork tender (about 8 to 10 minutes).
- When your potatoes are tender, drain off all of the water and keep your hot potatoes in the pot.
- I like to take my potato masher and lightly mash my potatoes before adding in the other ingredients.
- Next, add in all of the other yummy ingredients and lightly mash it in until it’s combined. Your cheese will melt inside.
- You’re ready to serve!
Notes
I served ours with my delicious Easy Weeknight Wiener Schnitzel and the fire roasted corn from Trader Joe’s!

Sounds so much better than plain mashed potato – which is already good on its own! Mmm! ?

Hi-I made your pumpkin cheesecake bars this weekend for a gathering of my friends. They were really good (although slightly overcooked! my bad), but your photo shows such a contrast between the spice cake bottom layer and the cheesecake layer. Mine was basically the same color, which did’t make them as visually appealing. Any thoughts?
Mix and Match Mama says
Now, I don’t know? Maybe it was that we used different brands of spice cake???
Landree says
If I have a bag of purple potato’s do you think it would still taste good If I used those in this as my potato’s. Do you know if I need to cook the potato’s any different? Different times maybe?
Mix and Match Mama says
I think the purple would make them even spookier!! Use them!

How do you heat up the fire roasted corn? Do you serve the corn on the side or on top? This look amazing and we can’t wait to try it! I already had the Wiener Schnitzel on my meal plan this week and I’m so adding this!
Mix and Match Mama says
I just heat the contents of the entire bag in the microwave and serve it on the side. It’s as easy as that!

Hey shay I need help I was going to make your chicken pot pie for my families dinner tonight but realized I forgot to get cream of chicken soup at the grocery store yesterday. We don’t have any other cream of soups either. Is there something I can substitute for it? or is it worth it for me To run out to the store?
Mix and Match Mama says
I would say sub if it were any other recipe, but for this one, I think you need it!
