What are Scalloped Potatoes and Ham?
Scalloped Potatoes and Ham is a classic comfort food dish that combines thinly sliced potatoes and savory ham, baked together in a rich, creamy sauce.
The dish is typically layered, with potatoes, ham, and sauce arranged in a casserole dish, and then baked until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
The creamy sauce is usually made with milk or cream and is thickened with flour and butter. Garlic, onions, and cheese can be added to the dish for additional flavor.
The ham provides a salty, savory contrast to the mild potatoes and creamy sauce, making it a balanced and satisfying meal.
Scalloped Potatoes and Ham are often served as a main dish but can also be a hearty side dish for holidays, potlucks, or weeknight dinners.
It’s a versatile recipe, allowing for variations like the addition of cheese, herbs, or vegetables to suit personal tastes.
