A buncha potatoes A couple a handfuls of Cut green beans (canned is OK in a pinch) Get a big pot o' water (enough to sink the ham), slow boil the ham 'til it starts falling off the bone, quarter the spuds, and when they're about done, drop in the beans. Season to taste. That's the extent of my cooking prowess, try it, it's cheap, and it's easy, and it tastes pretty good (to my palate, anyway).
