This recipe is one that I grew up eating. It frequently made an appearance shortly after the holidays as my mom used up leftover holiday ham.

Today, I also make this with leftover ham. But I don’t stop there. I’ll also purchase a ham steak and cut it up just to enjoy this recipe any time we want.

How to Make Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

To begin, brush a casserole dish with butter. Set it aside. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Finely dice a small onion.

In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over low heat and toss in the onions. Let the simmer and sauté gently until the onions are tender.

Meanwhile dice up some of your leftover ham. About 1 1/2 – 2 cups or so.

You’ll also thinly slice about 6 cups of potatoes – whatever kind you like. I used yellow potatoes. Layer half of them in the dish.

Sprinkle in half of the ham and repeat with the remaining potatoes & ham.

When the onions are tender, stir in 1/4 c flour. Let it cook for a minute.

Stir in 3 cups of milk and a half teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook this over medium heat, stirring continually until it comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat.

Slowly pour the lovely sauce over the top of the potatoes & ham.

Cover this with foil and bake for about 65-75 minutes, or until the potatoes are just about done. Remove the foil and bake 15 more minutes.

Note: I no longer eat pork, however I am leaving recipes like this one up for those who enjoy it. Many pork recipes can be easily converted to turkey or chicken recipes, with little or even no other changes. Recipes with bacon or sausage can use alternatives like beef or turkey bacon. Many of those recipes are being updated with the changes. Article: Why I Quit Eating Pork

  1. What a great way to use leftovers! I’m originally from Costa Rica, where families traditionally roast a whole pig’s leg for the holidays. I bet the leftover pork would be great in this.
