incorporate the mushrooms into a gravy so you have something to go on the mashed potatoes.

I think I would have done scalloped instead of mashed potatoes and probably something other than creamed spinach. The mushrooms w the ham just does not sound right, though. Which is what I was most looking forward to


You're.
So.
Odd.

Freeze the mushrooms and make seam

Mushrooms go with everything. What's the difference between scalloped and mashed when it comes to meat? Seriously, I've cooked all that stuff for years. One set of sides doesn't particularly go with one meat type.

Go and enjoy your Holiday, OP, instead of worrying about things that truly don't matter.


Freeze the mushrooms. Make a quick salad of apples, grapes, celery, walnuts and pecans and mix with pecans. Someone forgot to bring a dish on Christmas and I put that together in 15 minutes, with DH chopping apples. People loved it and we had ham with same sides you show

All of that goes great with ham. What did you do in the end?

I agree with you on the mushrooms. The idea to turn them into an app is a good one. Or just drop them from the menu (you have plenty) and enjoy later. Spinach and potato’s are fine (though I agree with you that if planning a menu from scratch I would have gone with scalloped).

Mashed Potatoes are absolutely wonderful with ham...

All of those sides go great with a ham.

As for the mushrooms - they are a FANTASTIC accompaniment for mashed potatoes! How do you not know this???

Make a little nest in the mashed potatoes on each plate, insert a scoop of mushrooms. YUM!
