It's like asking if there are 3 boys and 2 girls, how many couples can you make with this group? Give the boys the names of the vegetables and the girls the names of the potatoes.

You have 3 choices for your sides (the boys) and 2 choices for your potatoes (the girls)

The total number of choices (couples) you have then is $3\times 2$.
