To glaze a ham take the ham and the roasting pan out of the oven and put it on a cooling rack; close the oven door so the heat does not escape.

Next using a basting brush or spoon, cover the ham with the glaze; return it to the oven.

Then continue baking the ham until the ham reaches the desired temperature (I suggest 140°F).

The potatoes that go best with ham are scalloped potatoes or homemade mashed potatoes and gravy.

Russet Potatoes whether baked or sliced also go well with ham.

To prepare ham simply thaw it out if frozen and place the ham in the oven to heat it up.

Then if it needs sliced use an electric knife or a regular knife to slice the ham into as thin of slices as you want it to be.

Ham is actually fully cooked and just needs heated although ham can be eaten cold if you want.

The best way to cook a fully cooked ham is to put it in a roasting pan and heat it in the oven.

To heat the sliced ham in the oven.

Preheat oven to 325 F. Wrap ham in foil and place, cut side down, in a pan with a roasting rack.

Place pan in oven and cook (allow about 10 to 14 minutes per pound of meat.).

When digital meat thermometer, inserted in thickest part of ham, registers 100 to 110 F, remove ham from oven and unwrap.

Eggs are great to serve with ham.

Ham and Eggs or Ham and bacon are good.

Ham and Toast.

Ham and pancakes.

Ham and mashed potatoes are also great.

Other good side dishes to serve along with ham are.

Scalloped Potatoes.
Sweet Potato Casserole.
Green Bean Casserole.
Roasted Asparagus.
Spaghetti Squash.
Honey Glazed Carrots.
Dinner Rolls.

Good foods that go good with mashed potatoes are.

Bread, Chicken, Catfish, Beef Wellington, Steak, Meatloaf, Meatballs, Chicken Gordon Bleu.

Other foods that go well with mashed potatoes are potato croquettes, Salisbury Steak, Fried Chicken and Gravy, Steak and pan sauce.

Roast Chicken.

Potato Pierogi.

Fish Pie.

Grilled steaks
Sausages (grilled or boiled)
Ground lamb (as part of a Shepherd’s Pie)
Chicken in some sort of sauce (Chicken a la King, Chicken Francese, etc.)
Stews of any kind of meat (beef, pork, chicken, etc.)
Fish filets (usually in a Beurre Blanc sauce)

You can also top the mashed potatoes with some gravy and hamburger.

Or even top the mashed potatoes and gravy with some nacho cheese.

You could also dip nacho chips into the nacho cheese and gravy mashed potatoes.
