We first had a dish similar to this Greek Green Beans over Mashed Potatoes at a Greek restaurant years ago – before our vegan days – and we really enjoyed it. This recipe mimics the flavor of that dish, but without the olive oil that was clearly present on the green beans, and without any dairy in the mashed potatoes. What makes the flavor special, beyond being just a plate of green beans and mashed potatoes, is the onion, tomato, and hint of mint that cooks up with the beans. This is another good use for leftover mashed potatoes. Or, another great reason to make more mashed potatoes!
