Leftovers (ham and scalloped potatoes)

[perc-o-prince]

I finally took these pix out of the camera. This is one of my favorite ways to use leftover ham!

A did one layer already and am starting with another. Sliced potatoes first...

Then onions (I went with sweet Vidalia this time)

 

[perc-o-prince]

... a little thyme, rosemary, granulated garlic, pepper...

-sprinkle with flour and dot with butter-

Thanks

That is a great recipe and idea. Looks so good, I can taste it just looking at the pictures. Will try this one soon!

Top with potatoes then push down a little to squish things together.

Drizzle milk all over the top until it comes about 1/3 the way up the side of the bowl. Then top with breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 350F for about 1 hour. Then uncover and bake about 15 minutes more. I gave a light broil to the top. Someone couldn't wait until I got the picture before he served himself dinner!

Had to have something a little healthier on the side...

Of course you can flavor this any way you like by varying the types and amounts of seasonings you use. And shredded cheddar makes a great topping if you put it on in the last 5 minutes of baking!

Enjoy!!!

Does this ever look GOOD!! I'm sorry my Easter ham leftovers are all gone, but this is worth baking another ham so I can try it. The photos have my mouth watering - we are ham lovers! How much flour do you put in?

oh that looks so good

My mom often made that exact same recipe when I was a kid. I haven't had it in eons. I always make split pea soup when we have leftover ham. Next time I'll have to remember to make this delicious casserole. Thanks.

Rich- I've got the (ham) bone in the freezer, waiting for the temps to cool back down so I can make split pea soup! I made a 9# ham even though it was just the two of us. Leftovers, ya know!!!

Kevin- it's probably 1 1/2 - 2 heaping tablespoons per layer. Another of those recipes I do by looks and not measurements. This way if I do it in a larger dish, the proportions are roughly the same.

Funny- I don't ever remember seeing this dish on a diner (or any other restaurant) menu. I've always considered it comfort food and would probably take it over shepherd's pie most days.

Here is our version of ham & scalloped potatoes:

 

chopped parsley and onion to taste, 1 cup milk, 1 cup 1/2 & 1/2 (light cream), bring to a boil, add 1 can cream of chicken soup (undiluted), stir while bringing back to a light boil, add 1/2 cup butter (no margarine), stir until butter is melted.  Pour over layers of sliced ham and potatoes.  Bake 2hrs @ 350 degrees or until the potatoes test done.  You may have to bake it longer depending on how many layers you have.

 

*ADD NO SALT
