What happens when you combine ham and scalloped potatoes? You’re rewarded with a hearty, filling casserole designed to satisfy whether it’s served as a side dish or an entree. Thinly sliced potatoes become soft and tender as they bake in a rich, creamy white sauce, and chunks of tender ham stud the casserole with bold flavor. Our scalloped potatoes and ham recipe is warm and comforting, a great dish for cold winter days. That works out perfectly if you need to use up leftover ham<\/a> from a holiday dinner.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re wondering sbout the difference between au gratin and scalloped potatoes<\/a>, the difference is in cheese. Technically, au gratin potatoes contain cheese, and scalloped potatoes do not. Of course, don\u2019t let tradition restrain your creativity. We won’t mind if you decide to sprinkle cheese onto your scalloped potatoes and ham. Add a crispy bread crumb topping if it suits your fancy! Let yourself have some fun.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, dried parsley flakes, salt, dried thyme and pepper until smooth. Gradually add the milk.<\/p>\n Bring the mixture to a boil. Cook and stir for two minutes.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, chopped ham and grated onion. Place half of the mixture in a greased 2-1\/2-quart baking dish. Top with half of the sauce.<\/p>\n Repeat the layers.<\/p>\n Cover and bake until the potatoes are almost tender, 65 to 75 minutes. Uncover the dish, and dot it with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n Scalloped potatoes and ham is a great make-ahead meal. Let the casserole cool, and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. The next day, remove the dish from the fridge. Let it sit on the counter while the oven preheats. Bake, covered, in a 350\u00b0 oven for 30 minutes, or until the center reaches an internal temperature of 165\u00b0.<\/p>\n Store scalloped potatoes and ham in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The leftovers should last up to four days. Reheat the leftovers in the microwave until they reach an internal temperature of 165\u00b0.<\/p>\n Yes, it’s easy to freeze a casserole<\/a>. The best way to freeze scalloped potatoes and ham is as an unbaked casserole. Assemble the scalloped potatoes as directed, then cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before baking. Bake scalloped potatoes and ham as directed. You may need to increase the baking time to cook the potatoes through.<\/p>\n Scalloped potatoes and ham can turn out watery if the sliced potatoes are stored in water. The water prevents discoloration, but it can also remove the potato’s natural starches and add extra water to the dish. If you keep the sliced potatoes in water, drain them well and shake off excess moisture. If the cream sauce is too thin, you can thicken the sauce<\/a> with additional flour or cornstarch.<\/p>\n Scalloped potatoes and ham is satisfying enough to serve as an entree with a side salad<\/a> or your favorite vegetable side dish<\/a>. You can also serve this recipe as a side dish to a hearty meal, like pork chops, roasted chicken or meatloaf<\/a>.<\/p>\n Before you peel the potatoes, scrub them with a vegetable brush under cold water. Remove any eyes or sprouts. Then, peel the potatoes, and thinly slice with a mandoline slicer<\/a> or the slicing blade on a food processor<\/a>. Ideally, each slice will be about 1\/8-inch thick.<\/p>\n You can make scalloped potatoes and ham with peeled or unpeeled potatoes. The casserole will have a more rustic look and texture with unpeeled potatoes, but it will still taste great!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Scalloped potatoes and ham is a filling meat-and-potato casserole everyone will love.

I think I did 5 potatoes (medium) and 4 shallots. After peeling, put all through my cuisinart for slicing uniformly. I chopped up the extra bits from my Easter Honey Baked Ham. All that said, I used a 9x13 baking dish and needed more sauce. I did 2 rounds of that with whole milk and some half and half. I also forgot the garlic so I added 1 Tbs of Wildtree Garlic Galore season to the last round of sauce. It also has some dried parsley in it. This was sooo good! Big enough for a potluck or large family with my changes. Can't wait to eat it again. Love that as long as I manage the flour sauce okay I can't ruin it.

It's my go-to recipe and I've made it several times, including for others. I've always gotten rave reviews. I love the small amount of time added to the recipe. Just the right amount to put a little interest into the meal. I've tried a variety of different hams. We really love to use the leftover smoked ham from our smoker. But any ham works great! I feel the sauce is the perfect amount for making this and I use a 9 x 13 pan. The prep time is going to be different for everyone depending on how it's done. For someone with a food processor, the prep time is easily 10 to 15 mins. I don't like to use cheese in scalloped potatoes. I prefer just having the standard scalloped with white sauce.
