Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

This is actually my go to recipe now. Spicing it up is so easy too. We love it how it is and I'm excited to see what all we can do with this recipe. Also, this recipe taught me how to actually make my own rue! Love this. Haven't messed it up not once so I give this a 10/10 for sure!

Cut recipe in half. Used half and half in place of milk. Needed to add more liquid before finishing.

Good

It was good. I think I will not use as much thyme as the recipe calls for, it was all I could taste. But overall turned out good.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13" pan and set aside. 2. Cook onion and butter over medium low until onion is tender. Add thyme and flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. 3. Turn heat to low and add milk a little bit at a time whisking between each addition. The mixture will thicken but as you continue adding and whisking, it will smooth out. Stir in chicken broth, salt and pepper bring to a boil and allow to boil 1 minute. 4. Place ⅓ of the potatoes topped with ⅓ of the ham and ⅓ of the sauce. Repeat layers ending with sauce on top. 5. Bake covered for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake 25-35 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Add the cheese during the last 15 minutes if using. 6. Cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley

I loved the onions being added to the butter and flour. That added a lot of flavour to the sauce. I added my cheese to the sauce and put some parm on top. Excellent recipe with or without the ham! Thank you

We ate it all before I got the chance to take a picture. It was a hit! Needed a little something so I put some extra salt and cayenne on mine and it was just right.

So good. Like most scalloped potatoes. All I changed was adding a bit of garlic with onion, some paprika with the thyme, and used half and half instead of milk. Yum!

A creamy and flavorful way to use leftover Christmas ham.
