When there gets to be a chill in the air, it definitely puts me in the mood for one of two types of meals….some kind of a delicious soup that’s been cooking in the crock pot all day or a nice “comfort food” kind of recipe. Usually when I make a “comfort food” I whip out my mom’s old recipe book to find something fantastic that my grandmother had passed down to her and that I remember enjoying as a kid.
Well last week, we had some cooler weather here in Georgia, and it put me in the mood for some of my Grandma’s Ham & Scalloped Potatoes.
To make Ham & Scalloped Potatoes, you’ll need:
4-5 large baking potatoes
1 can cream of mushroom soup
milk
salt & pepper
butter
diced ham
Peel and rinse your potatoes.
Make about 1/4 inch slices through each potato, until you’ve got the amount you need. I used four potatoes to serve two, but we had leftovers for lunch the next day.
Arrange your sliced potatoes in a glass baking dish.
In a small bowl mix the cream of mushroom soup and one can full of milk until blended. It will be a little lumpy (and that’s okay). Add salt and pepper to taste as well. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and add a few teaspoons of butter to the top of the dish.
Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for about an hour and 10 minutes. After it’s cooked, remove from the oven, stir in the diced ham, and bake for another 15-20 minutes (depending on how soft your potatoes are getting). If you notice the top is browning up, cover loosely with foil before putting it back in the oven. Once the potatoes are no longer firm, your dish is ready to enjoy!
This was the perfect ending to a cold and windy day!
Enjoy!
I’ll be linking up at these fantastic parties this week!
I want these for breakfast right now. They look SOO YUM.
Oooh….I never thought about eating them for breakfast…I’ll have to do that next time!
I am putting this on my dinner list this week, it looks delicious, and I already have all of the ingredients!
It is so so good! Hope you like it!
Will be adding this to our holiday menu.. haven’t had scalloped pototoes in a very long time.
Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Absolutely! Enjoy 🙂
Looks sooo good Meredith! Love that it’s your mom’s too! That makes it even more ‘comforting’ 🙂
You should definitely give this one a try!
I’m soooooo stealing your grandmother’s recipe!! 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer… From Dream To Reality! I can’t wait to see what you link up tomorrow evening 🙂
How much ham did you use?
It might have been 1/4 pound, cubed.
I made this and it’s WONDERFUL. I also had some under a egg in the morning which I have never done before and it was sooo good
I would like however if you would put a print icon on it – I am a bit old school and when I cook I want to be able to have it on the counter next to me.
Thanks
Can I make this with cream of celery?
Perhaps. I’ve never tried it with cream of celery.
Let me know how it turns out!
I tried this because I could never find a simple scalloped potato recipe. I added a little cheese on top and it turned out great! Wonderful taste and easy to make! Thank you so much!!
Can you use Red potatoes instead?
This is such an easy delicious way to use leftover ham. I added some seasoned salt when assembling it. I also added shredded cheddar cheese after I pulled it from the oven waiting for it to cool.
Simply delicious!!!! Will become a weekly meal 🙂
