Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

I cooked a ham the other day and had lots of leftovers. The first meal was ham and candied sweet potatoes (the recipe is on here).  Then we had breakfast for dinner the next night (sliced ham, scrambled egg sub & toast). Next I cut the majority of the meat off the bone and used the bone & some of the meat to make Navy Bean Soup (have to try to figure the P+ on that so I can share the recipe). And the final 'thing' to do with the ham was this. What a great 'memory' meal! I can remember my Mom making a ham and scalloped potatoes to go with it for our 'big' Sunday meal. I could easily say this was delicious 'comfort' food. Try it!

SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH HAM

Makes 4 Servings

1 Serving = 6 PointsPlus™

4 TBSP light butter, divided

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 cups fat-free milk
4 cups potatoes, peeled & thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked ham
1 small onion, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 375º. Lightly spray an 8 x 11” baking dish. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt 3 TBSP butter. Stir in flour, parsley flakes, salt, thyme & pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk; bring to a boil. Cook & stir for 2 more minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, ham & onion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place half of this in a sprayed 8 x 11“baking dish. Top with half of the sauce. Repeat with remaining potatoes/ham/onion.

 



Cover & bake for 65 – 75 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender. Dot with remaining 1 TBSP butter. Bake, uncovered, 15 – 20 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.

MY SPIN: I put more ground black pepper on this after pouring the milk sauce. For some reason, to me, scalloped potatoes should have lots of black pepper! Also, I would bake a little longer than the final 15 – 20 minutes so the potatoes get a little more of a golden color.

My plate. I served this with fresh steamed broccoli.
