Sunday Night Dinner: Honeybaked Ham, Potato Salad and Baked Beans




Tonight was one of those dinners that, after eating, Arn said, "SO DELICIOUS, Cyn." One thing I love to do is buy a honeybaked ham. I do this every few months or so. I then always make potato salad and baked beans.  Oh, I also love to buy those little Hawaiian rolls.  We then have ham sandwiches, ham omelettes and anything ham a lot.  I usually freeze some of the ham.  We always use some leftover ham and the hambone to make ham and beans in the crockpot.  That will be a later post.

So, now, for the potato salad (enough for four large servings):

7-8 Fingerling potatoes (or just small red new potatoes)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2-3 squirts of yellow mustard
6-8 sweet gherkin pickles, diced
salt
pepper

Boil the potatoes until semi-soft to the touch of a fork.  Drain the potatoes and run cold water on them.  Let them cool.  Once cool, place them in a bowl.  Fork through them just enough to mash up a little bit.  Add the mayo, mustard, pickles and salt and pepper to taste.  Refrigerate and serve cold.

For the baked beans (enough for four servings):

One can of pork and beans
1/4 cup ketchup
2 heaping tablespoons of light brown sugar.

Mix all ingredients together in an oven-proof dish.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
