Whether you’re serving a crowd-pleasing ham or a celebratory cut of lamb, you’re bound to need a few special side dishes to round out your Easter dinner. You might be tempted to overlook the humble potato, but it’s the perfect complement to so many mains. With the right recipes you can whip up everything from seasonally-inspired roasted potatoes to these oh-so-rich-and-creamy scalloped potatoes. They’re impossible not to love (studded with salty pieces of baked ham!) and a must-have at any holiday table.

Marble potatoes come out tender and browned in about 15 minutes. Grated garlic and minced parsley add so much flavor!

What's better than creamy, buttery potatoes for Easter? We say nothing!

Cheesy potatoes are perfect for any gathering. We spent days perfecting the BEST version—testing fresh vs. frozen potatoes and coming up with the perfect from-scratch sauce that doesn't rely on canned soup as its base. In the end, fresh potatoes won the competition, thanks to the creamy soft texture they provide and the way they soak up the silky smooth, rich homemade sauce. Of course, plenty of Cheddar tops it all off, as well as cornflakes for toothsome crunch.
