Ham and Scalloped Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 4 cups peeled and sliced potatoes
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 pound Cheddar cheese, diced
  • 1 pinch paprika, or to taste
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients and prepare the kitchen accordingly.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for optimal results.
3
Create a layered structure in your 2-quart baking dish by alternating two main components:
4
- Half of the diced potatoes
5
- Half of the sliced ham
6
- Half of the chopped onions
7
Repeat this layering process to fill the dish, ensuring a balanced composition.
8
In a separate saucepan, combine milk, frozen peas, all-purpose flour, melted butter, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
9
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming, until it reaches a thickened consistency, taking around 7-10 minutes to achieve this.
10
Once the sauce has thickened, stir in grated Cheddar cheese until it is fully incorporated and melted.
11
Pour the sauce over the layered potato, ham, and onion mixture in the baking dish.
12
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for added flavor.
13
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent overcooking and promote even cooking.
14
Place the covered baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the potatoes are tender, approximately 1 hour.
15
Remove the foil to allow for browning and continue baking until it reaches a lightly browned state, taking around 15 minutes more.
