Peg and I don’t eat a whole lot at a time, and we’re headed away for holiday, so I needed to make a small batch of scalloped potatoes for dinner. We always add ham, and I had one on hand.
- Two medium potatoes
- 3 T butter, divided
- 2 T flour
- 2 C milk
- 1/2 t pepper
- 1 t salt
- 1 C cubed ham
Peel and pare the potatoes thinly.
Melt the butter and flour to form a roux, cooking slightly. Whisk in the milk, add salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Spread 1T butter around the inside of a one-quart casserole.
Place a thin layer of white sauce in the bottom of the casserole. Alternate adding potatoes, cubed ham, and white sauce to fill the casserole.
Cover with foil and bake at 350F For 50 minutes. Uncover and bake another 30 minutes…
We like to serve ham and green beans with it.
