Au gratin potatoes and ham is an excellent make-ahead dish to use up leftover ham. We smother thinly sliced potatoes and diced ham in an easy cheese sauce.
Ingredients
2 cups sliced peeled potatoes, cooked
1 cup diced cooked ham
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1/3 cup butter, cubed
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
dash white pepper
minced fresh parsley
Directions
In a greased 1-qt. baking dish, combine potatoes, ham and onion; set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Add cheese, salt and pepper; stir until the cheese is melted. Pour over potato mixture and stir gently to mix.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly. Garnish with parsley.
