Don't you just get tired of all the same meals week after week after week? I know I do, it drives me nuts. As my oven self cleans, which by the way smells incredible bad, I mean it smells bad. I decided to blog, I such at blogging, really I do.
I decided Sunday to make just the basic baked ham dinner, so I could have the left overs for Scalloped Potatoes and ham, one of my favorite comfort foods. I made that last night for dinner. Here is my recipe but I didn't take a picture, forgot.
Scallop Potatoes and Ham
however much ham you want in your dish cut it into bite size pieces
peel and slice about 3 pounds of potatoes, I used Russet cause that is what I had on hand
8 oz of cheese, I used Sargento's 6 Cheese Italian blend, most times thou I just use either Parmensan
or Astiago cheese.
2 cups of milk
1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
3 cloves of garlic minced
1 small onion minced
3 pinches of Nutmet
1 tsp of thyme
black pepper to taste
Saute your minced onion in a little bit of butter in a medium size pan, when soft and translucent add your minced garlic, black pepper and cook till the garlic is fragent, about 40 seconds. Add thyme, nutmeg, milk and heavy cream and just let it warm on the stove on low.
Slice your potatoes very thin, I use a mandoline to slice mine.
Spray a large baking dish. If you keep your layers of potatoes to 3 doesn't take forever to cook
Put a layer of potatoes, sprinkle with cheese and ladel some of the milk on top, keep doing that till you us your potates, ending with some cream on top and cheese.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Comes out so so good.
