Potato Recipe # Ham and Scalloped Potatoes

Sliced potatoes are smothered in a cheese sauce and topped with ham. If you prefer a little kick, try adding a dash of cayenne pepper to the sauce. Delicious!

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 8 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• ½ cup butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 cups milk
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 3 cups diced ham

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sliced potatoes and cook until almost tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle. Drain well.
3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute. Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese until melted.
4. Layer half of the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 1 1/2 cup diced ham and half of the Cheddar cheese sauce. Repeat layering potatoes, ham, and sauce.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly browned, about 1 hour.
