Scalloped Potatoes and Ham With Cheese
Ingredients:
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/4 lb ham, sliced
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite cheese)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Peel the potatoes and thinly slice them. You’ll need about 6 medium-sized potatoes for a 2-quart baking dish.
-
Slice the ham into thin slices.
-
Make the Basic White Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and mix until smooth. Stir in the chopped onions and cook until softened. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
-
Add the Cheese: Once the white sauce has thickened, add the shredded cheese and stir until it’s fully melted and incorporated into the sauce. Set aside.
-
Layer the Potatoes and Ham: In a 2-quart baking dish, start by arranging a layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom. Top the potatoes with a layer of sliced ham. Repeat the layers until all the potatoes and ham are used, ending with a layer of potatoes on top.
-
Pour the Cheese Sauce: Once you’ve layered the potatoes and ham, pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top of the dish, making sure to cover all the layers.
-
Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This Scalloped Potatoes and Ham With Cheese makes a delicious main dish or side dish for any occasion. Enjoy!
