Ham is an easy and savory main dish, and part of the pleasure of serving it is enjoying the side dishes that play well with its rich flavor.
Here are 35 side dishes for ham that are perfect for rounding out the meal, whether you’re serving it for a holiday or simply a Sunday dinner at home with family. Potatoes are a must — we have classic scalloped potatoes for you, plus decadent cream cheese mashed potatoes and butter-roasted sweet potatoes, too. Or you can lean lighter, with lemon-kissed asparagus or sautéed green beans with pickled shallots. And of course you can’t forget the biscuits (well, you can get away with rolls if you really prefer!).
First, Make Your Ham
Potatoes
Anytime I’m serving ham for dinner, a side of scalloped potatoes or a creamy potato gratin is always a must. It’s a crowd-pleaser that serves enough to feed to whole table. Alternatively, a simple batch of garlicky roasted potatoes always comes through when you need something in a hurry.
You want starchy potatoes for this dish — it’s that starch that helps the cream thicken up into a velvety sauce during cooking. Go for Russet potatoes or Yukon Golds.
Thick chunks of red potatoes are tossed with a generous dusting of garlic powder, then finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon before they hit the table.
Boiled potatoes are tossed in a mixture of melted butter, honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes, then smashed, roasted until crispy, and brushed with more butter before serving.
These potatoes boast browned crispy edges and insides so moist they'll melt in your mouth. One surprising ingredient makes them the best you'll ever have.
These perfect Brussels sprouts have a little bit of char and are perfectly crisp-tender: cooked all the way through with a little crunch remaining.

Rolls and Biscuits
I’m a firm believer that no ham dinner is complete with rolls or biscuits. In fact, make a double batch so you can use the extras for post-dinner ham sandwiches.
