1 Prepare Ingredients and Start Potatoes
Peel and cut potatoes into a 1” dice. Place potatoes in a medium pot and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a simmer and cook until fork tender, 18-20 minutes. Drain in colander and return to pot. While potatoes cook, prepare ingredients. Trim ends off celery and cut into 1/4" dice. Peel and mince shallot. Stem and mince parsley. Core apple and cut into 1/4" dice. Mix vegetable base with 1 cup water. Mince garlic. Trim ends off green beans.

2 Start the Stuffing
Warm a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 pat butter, celery, shallot, and apple to hot pan and cook until soft, 3-4 minutes. Stir in vegetable base-water mixture, croutons, stuffing seasoning, and half the parsley (reserving remaining for garnish) and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
3 Bake Stuffing and Toast Almonds
Transfer stuffing into prepared casserole dish and dot top with pieces of 1 pat butter. Bake until top is browned, 15-20 minutes. While stuffing bakes, wipe pan used to make stuffing clean and heat over medium-low heat. Add almonds and toast in dry pan, stirring occasionally, until light brown, 2-4 minutes. Add 1 pat butter and dried cranberries to pan and cook until aromatic and golden brown, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.
-
4 Finish the Potatoes
Warm remaining butter in a small pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic to hot pan and cook until fragrant and light brown, 30 seconds. Remove from burner and add pecorino cheese and milk. Add half the garlic-butter mixture to potatoes and mash with a potato masher or fork. Continue to mash, adding garlic-butter mixture as needed until desired consistency is reached. Season to taste with a pinch of salt.
-
5 Cook the Green Beans
Return pan used to make almonds to medium-high heat and add green beans, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook until beans are bright green and tender, 5-6 minutes. Remove cover and cook until water evaporates, 1-2 minutes. Remove from burner and add almond-cranberry mixture. Toss to coat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

6 Serve the Sides
Transfer mashed potatoes into a serving bowl. Garnish potatoes and stuffing with remaining parsley. Transfer almond-cranberry green beans into a serving dish. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
