3.  Baked Ham with Balsamic Brown Sugar Glaze + Herbed Cheese Au Gratin Potatoes

Wherein we pair a seemingly basic ham (whose deliciousness is greater than the sum of its four ingredients) with oh-so-satisfying au gratin potatoes. There’s just something about the combination of cheese, potatoes and panko breadcrumbs that can’t be denied!

4.  Slow-Cooker Ham with Fruit Chutney + Cheesy au Gratin Potato Cupcakes

When you’ve got a slow-cooker ham that practically makes itself (tangy fruit glaze and all!), that frees up time to try a new twist on Easter’s most irresistible side—cheesy au gratin potatoes. Instead of the usual casserole presentation, break out your muffin tin for cute single-servings and brace yourself for an onslaught of compliments.

It’s hard to believe how much flavor we packed into this slow-cooker ham—until you taste it. It comes out sweet, savory and glazed to perfection. What’s more, it’s the perfect match to these cheesy potatoes that get a flavor boost from corn, French-fried onions and you guessed it, loads of cheddar cheese.

6.  Sweet and Spicy Glazed Ham + Ultimate Slow-Cooker Potatoes

When sweet and spicy Easter ham meets creamy mashed potatoes, you know you’re in for a feast. Best of all, making the potatoes in the slow cooker frees up room in the oven for more deliciousness. Lemon Cream Cheese Bundt Cake with Lemon Glaze anyone?

7.  Grilled Orange Ham (Crowd Size) + Grilled Cheesy Potato Packet

Easter al fresco? Yes, please! Not only does this delicious ham start with a sweet citrus marinade, there’s also a barbecue-marmalade-mustard glaze that gets brushed on during the last 15 minutes for truly fantastic flavor. Pair with our four-ingredient, 40-minute potato packet and you’re well on your way to an unforgettable Easter feast!


slow cooker maple brown sugar ham and white cheddar scalloped potatoes

8.  Slow-Cooker Maple-Brown Sugar Ham + White Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes 

If there’s a better way to start Easter Sunday than with this brunch, we don’t know what it is. This perfectly moist ham is cooked in a mouthwatering maple-brown sugar glaze than turns into the most amazing sauce to serve on the side. Serve with creamy, white cheddar scalloped potatoes that taste every bit as good as they look.


riesling peach glazed ham and cheesy crunchy broccoli scalloped potato casserole

9.  Riesling Peach Glazed Ham + Cheesy Crunchy Broccoli Scalloped Potato Casserole

Each of these recipes is a delightful twist on an Easter classic, which naturally makes them a perfect pair. For the ham, we’re spicing things up with Riesling wine and peach preserves, and for the potatoes, we’re adding serious crunch factor with broccoli and a cheese cracker crust (looking at you Cheez-Its).


slow cooker southern style ham and sweet potato gratin

10.  Slow-Cooker Southern-Style Ham + Sweet Potato Gratin

A little planning leads to grand flavors in this laid-back pairing. The long, slow cook time of our Southern-style ham enhances the flavor tenfold, while a slightly longer-than-average bake time allows the sweet potato gratin develop the most amazing golden crust.
