To me, ham and mashed just dont go together. Baked sweet potatoes, on
the other hand, seem to LOVE ham.

Devilled eggs love ham, too.

Mac and cheese and ham are a classic combo!

Roasted veggies, especially Brussels sprouts, love ham.

Ive never heard of making regular gravy from ham drippings....but in the
South, we make what we call Red Eye Gravy from ham drippings. It's
nothing but the drippings with a cup of strong black coffee added. NO
flour, no thickening at all. Typically, you'll see Red Eye gravy served
with ham and eggs and grits---you put the Red Eye on the grits. YUM!

Of course, Red Eye is generally made from salt-cured ("Country") ham,
not the sweetish spiral cut ham.
