What kind of ham... there's fresh ham, and there're so many types of
cured/preserved ham. Fresh ham is hard to come by except during
Christmas and Easter... for a festive occasion I'd choose a fresh
ham... you can have preserved ham any old time.

The deviled eggs are nice for a pre dinner snack. It's plain old
"Ambrosia", not ambrosia salad. Ambrosia is a dessert. For a salad
you may want to serve a Waldorf Salad instead. Hashbrown casserole
doesn't turn me on, sounds like a lot of empty greasy calories. I
think if you want potatoes then plain roasted are a far better
choice. And then all you need is some kind of leafy green veggie...
perhaps spinach/collards in cream sauce w/pearl onions. And you can
still do your tangerine/sage glaze with fresh ham.

For roasted potatoes pare, slice into wedges, rub sparingly with
vegetable oil, s n p, and roast until golden brown.

Here's how roasted potatoes should turn out:
