Potatoes and ham are classic Easter dinner companions, with potatoes au gratin and scalloped potatoes reigning as the most popular spud sides. (The difference between these two similar dishes: Potatoes au gratin gets baked with cheese or bread crumbs for a golden finish, while scalloped potatoes leave out the cheese.)
