Great use of leftover smoked ham from a holiday or Sunday dinner. I even freeze my leftover ham bits to use later just for this dish. This is real comfort food!

How To Make cheesey scalloped potatoes with ham

  • 1
    Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in flour until smooth. Add cold milk a little at a time whisking to avoid lumps. Cook over medium high heat stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking for 1 minute. Turn heat off and stir in the cheese, salt, pepper and mustard.

    In a greased 9x9 casserole dish spread 2-3 tablespoons of sauce in the bottom. Place a single layer of potatoes over sauce. Randomly place ham pieces over potatoe layer and cover with a thin layer of cheese sauce. Repeat the layers until all the potatoes have been used- I usually have 3 layers. Spread any remaining sauce over the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake @ 350 for one hour. Check that the potatoes are tender by inserting a sharp paring knife in several places. It should slide in and out easily with little resistance. Remove the foil and continue cooking until top is browned, about 15-20 minutes.
