Jude,
Personally, I'd serve baked potatoes instead of mashed 'so any blood from
the prime rib could "contaminate" the mashed.
Another familiar side dish is asparagus.
Simple tossed salad with several dressings and oil/vinegar.
Popovers instead of dinner rolls are simple and extravagant, imho.
Have fun,
Andy
