Having a birthday dinner this weekend. Ham for sure, but need recipes for Beets and Scalloped potatoes.

TIA
lol  
Bill in UT : 1/20/2022 2:36 pm : link
Do the beets have to be a side dish or can they be an app or salad? Fresh or canned? Red or gold?

I hope you're accepting recipes from other people too
I haven't made scalloped potatoes, but

I boil the beats until a fork pierces them  
adamg : 1/20/2022 2:57 pm : link
Then peel em, cut into cubes, and marinade them in balsamic vinegar. Can add feta/goat cheese too if you'd like, but they're great just with the balsamic.

Thanks adam!
That Potato Fennel Gratin is delicious

Here's a version with leeks that is a nose better IMO.

Beets

I live with a Pole so beets are on the menu a lot

With the ham and gratin a glazed/candied beet dish would be great. You can also add carrots. Keep goat cheese out of this.

There aren't may recipes for beets as a side,  
Bill in UT : 1/20/2022 3:23 pm : link
particularly by itself. You may be best off just serving as a salad on the dinner plate on a bed of arugula. I'm linking an Ina recipe for roasted balsamic beet salad.
Or, do something similar to what Adam suggested. Here's an address for Ina's Roasted beets, with raspberry vinegar. You could probably substitute balsamic or red wine vinegar.

Not sure if this meets the criteria, but...

I ordered "beets + sweets" at a local fried chicken / brewery here in Denver and have tried to replicate it on a few occasions. Cannot even give you a recipe, but what turned out was pretty good! (I'm sure Mr. Bill in UT can take this to a new height!)
Fresh beets + sweet potatoes (cube into 2" pieces, shake in bag w/ olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt) - roast in oven until starting to crisp.
Once out of the oven, mix in goat cheese crumbles, parsley and walnuts. Serve over a bed of arugula. Awesome.

Pete, I haven't made this yet, but I've always been happy with Melissa D'Arabian's recipes (she's a former Food Network Star) and the reviews are very good. You could probably add goat cheese or feta if you want.

Happiness is a ham steak fried on a griddle with sweet potatoes and broccoli(or any green veggie).

If a ham steak = happiness... then Jerry Lewis should have helped you with his last telethon.
Normally have it on Christmas, but not this year.
