They taste great with basically any dish! But to me, what goes well with scalloped potatoes is meats and vegetables. That’s why today, I’m sharing 14 meaty and veggie dishes that make scalloped potatoes even better. With these pairings, you can easily transform your simple dinner into a sensational feast! Trust me, these dishes are sure to impress.
Here are 14 of the best dishes to serve with scalloped potatoes. Ham Let’s kick things off with a sweet, savory, and smoky hunk of meat. Ham’s unique cured flavor goes wonderfully well with the creaminess and cheesiness of scalloped potatoes. Plus, you really can’t go wrong with pairing a starchy side with meat! Together, they make a hearty and drool-worthy weeknight meal. Fried Pork Chops Fried pork chops are not only tasty but super easy to make, too!
But since they have a tendency to be dry and tough, they need the companionship of a flavor-packed side dish. The ultra-creamy and cheesy spuds are the ultimate pair to the mildly flavored chops. Rosemary Chicken Rosemary chicken is a weeknight staple. I love how one simple herb can add such a lovely flavor to a whole chicken! But since chicken is not the heartiest dish, it needs something starchy to round out the meal.
With rosemary chicken, nothing’s better than scalloped potatoes. Salmon I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: salmon is the best fish ever. It’s incredibly rich, flavorful, and good for the body. When it comes to salmon, I will never run out of great things to say. But I do admit that it’s not a stand-alone dish, no matter how you prepare it. Both super umami-rich, these two make the most dynamic pair! Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Want to add vegetables to your meal?
This asparagus is exactly what you need. It’s light, crisp, nutritious, and a wonderful contrast to the heaviness of scalloped potatoes. But don’t worry, meat lovers, you’ll still add some meat to this dish. One of the best ones, actually: bacon! Wrap those spears with smoky bacon for a lovely crunchy bite!
You’ll want to pair it with something equally mouthwatering. Sweet and savory plus creamy and cheesy equals one heck of a dinner. But no matter how good it is, it’s not a complete meal. You’ll want to serve that brat with at least one side dish, and you can’t go wrong with scalloped potatoes. The richness of the potatoes plus the smokiness of the sausage make one taste bud-tingling combination.
BBQ Ribs BBQ ribs are the best thing about grilling season. They’re the most drool-worthy cookout dish! The super succulent, fork-tender meat is just to die for. The combination of sweet, savory, and smoky is just epic. But you know what will make it even more phenomenal?
The only thing missing from BBQ ribs is a creamy component, and that’s exactly what scalloped potatoes bring to the table. One bite will immediately turn that frown upside down. Broccolini Broccolini may not be as popular, but I personally prefer it over broccoli. Try roasting it in the oven, and you’ll understand what I mean. Roasted broccolini makes a fantastic pair with scalloped potatoes! It’s light, crisp, and contrasts the richness of the spuds well.
Plus, since it’s very mild, it won’t overpower the wonderful flavors of the potatoes. Sauteed Green Beans Crisp green beans sauteed in butter. It seems so basic, but the flavor and texture are insane! It also complements scalloped potatoes really well. It’s a crunchy contrast to the tender potatoes, and its flavor doesn’t overshadow the dish. Together, they make a hearty meal that’s also vegan-friendly!
