Scalloped potatoes....creamed potatoes....twice baked potatoes ( not all at once)....chunky stewed spiced apples....baked pineapple...
Just to start the ball rolling...

I had ham this weekend at a party, with sweet potatoes. That was great! Ham goes well with so many things! It's good with greens too.

Mashed butternut squash goes very well with ham, because it's rather sweet.

Do mashed potatoes go & if so how are those pkts of gravy since I won't have any meat to make gravy from?

Forget the gravy on the mashed potatoes.....gravy packets are awful!...just add some roasted garlic and lots of sour cream when you mash them....who needs gravy if you have enough sour cream and butter!? LOL!

we like regular mashed potatoes not garlic ones
and sour cream - GROSS!!!!

Then you MIGHT like the gravy packet....
Instant gravy what a concept....and instant mashed potatoes....much easier and better than real potatoes with roasted garlic and sour cream.

Mashed sweet potatoes or candied.

I think I'd skip the mashed potatoes if you think they need a gravy packet......

Mashed sweet or scalloped would be better potato choices. Baked beans is a "gotta have" when we have ham.

This question came up on another forum, and I copied several of the recipes: corn pudding, brocolli/raisin salad[yum!], and some kind of white potato casserole called a "filler." chery

Michie1 - we added honey baked ham to our traditional Cuban Xmas Eve dinner of pork, rice & beans, etc LOL!

Nothing better than grinding the left over pork and ham together to make croquetas!

Feliz Año Nuevo!

Plain mashed potatoes just don't stack up to garlic mashed potatoes. In my opinion, you should go light on the garlic just to give a hint of flavor. A little pepper and butter. Mmmmm. Haven't tried the sour cream, but that sounds good, too. Or maybe a little Creme Fraiche instead of sour cream.

I dunno - if someone doesn't like the sound of garlic and sour cream in their mashed potatoes, then the gravy packets are perfect!

There is no accounting for taste (or lack of).

My did made a wonderful mashedpotato dish last T'giving...and I hope she does it again this year...
Pretty much what it was was about 5 large whith russets and one small sweet potato peeled, cut up and bliled and while theyw ere boiling there were a couple of cloves of gralic roasting in foil in the toaster oven.
When the potatoes were done, they got the roasted garlic squeesed into them and were mashed with butter and sour cream....salt and pepper...quite a bit of pepper.
You wouldn't know there were sweet potatoes in the mashed potatoes...but my were they good!

That should have been my DIL..LOL!

I like carrots with Ham -- either baby ones with butter and sugar or in a casserole form.

If your not feeling the mashed potatoes, how about potatoes Au Gratin?

Pineapple casserole and broccoli rice casseroles are other ideas.

I like things with cheese when I'm serving ham...they just seem to go --and hey, you can never have enough chesse. Even a homemade mac 'n cheese make work for a brunch.

We like scalloped potatoes, applesauce and roasted asparagus. I've also made corn pudding or a rice casserole instead of the potatoes - here's a couple of recipes for you.
