I pulled a ham out of the freezer a few days ago. We've enjoyed various ham meals, but it was finally time to finish it. I searched the internet for different recipes and decided that I should try to make scalloped potatoes. After 27 years of marriage, this was my first attempt at this dish. I found a recipe, but tweaked it to fit our family's tastes and food allergies. We had two extra mouths to feed the night that night, so I doubled the recipe. There was one extra serving for someone for lunch the following day. Keep in mind that the bulk of my family is adults or teen-aged boys.
Scalloped Potatoes
1/2 Cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 cups milk
3 cups chopped cooked ham
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
5 cups washed and thinly sliced potatoes, not peeled
Melt butter in pan and add flour and seasonings. Cook for 1 minutes, stirring constantly. Add milk and heat until thickened and bubbling. Remove from heat. Add cheese and ham. Mix thoroughly. Pour over potatoes in a large bowl and mix well. Butter 13 x 9" casserole dish and fill with mixture. Cover with foil. Place in preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional hour.
Serves 6-8
