Green Potatoes and Ham

Green Potatoes and Ham? or would it sound better as Creamy Avocado flavored Potatoes and Ham? This is actually an Evan Edwards original (my 6 year old son). One night I had made garlic mashed potatoes as a side for dinner. The kids were having Avocado (since they don't like my garlic mashed potatoes) as their side, when Evan said "Wouldn't it be funny if you mixed the Avocado in your potatoes?". But I didn't think it was funny, I thought that the smooth creaminess of the Avocado would go great in mashed potatoes. It turns out that I was right and it makes for a funny looking, but great tasting side dish. I'm keeping this one of file for St. Patrick's day ;)
