: For the family-day feast, a SPIRAL-SLICED HAM is perfect. Serve it with ROASTED SWEET POTATOES. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Peel 3 8-ounce sweet potatoes; cut into 8 wedges and halve crosswise. Toss with a little olive oil; season with coarse salt and pepper. Roast 20 minutes, turn once and bake until brown and tender. Serve with BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS (or other sweet onions).
