Need a quick and easy side dish recipes!?

Im going to my sisters tomorrow around 3pm..im not such an experienced cook and i was just informed i needed to bring one..anyone have any quick and easy dishes? I believe ham is the main course so anything that would go well with that... thanks!!Need a quick and easy side dish recipes!?
cold potato salad is nice with cold or hot ham..you simply die some potatoes and boil them in lightly salted water for ten to twelve minutes, until tender, then drain and cover with cold water to stop them cooking, drain again and allow them the dry in the colander. Snip up a few spring onions and add them to the potatoes in a large bowl then start adding mayo, turning the potatoes very gently in it until they are nicely coated.


Or you can go with hot potato salad..boil some new potatoes in their jackets until tender, drain and return to pan, add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. some finely chopped spring onions and / or a couple of cloves of raw minced garlic and a pinch of seat salt. Place the lid on the pan and shake everything gently to coat. Place them in a baking / serving dish and you can heat them up in the oven before serving.


Or you could simply cook some rice, adding a stock cube to the water for cooking, finely dice up any vegetables you like and add them to the rice for the last five minuted of cooking..take in a covered bowl and serve either hot or cold.Need a quick and easy side dish recipes!?

green bean casserole or you can look up side dishes
Go to any recipe site (my favorite is www.cooks.com) and look for simple recipes for au gratin potatoes. Or, you could take macaroni and cheese -- from a box or from a recipe. That would go well with ham.





If your culinary expertise deserts you, take a platter of finger veggies (carrot sticks, celery sticks, olives, etc) and some dip.

Au Gratin potatoes (with bacon, onions and exta cheese) are always served with baked ham. And something green, green beans, asparagus, brocolli.
