This dish is a crowd-pleaser with its creamy sauce, chunks of ham and potato slices. I always enjoyed it when Mother made it. I added the parsley and the thyme, and now my husband and five children request it. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter, divided |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 cups 2% milk |
6 cups thinly sliced peeled potatoes |
1-1/2 cups chopped fully cooked ham |
1 small onion, grated |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour, parsley, salt, thyme and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
2. Combine potatoes, ham and onion; place half in a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Top with half of the sauce; repeat layers.
3. Cover and bake at 375° for 65-75 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender. Dot with remaining butter. Bake, uncovered, 15-20 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Yield: 4 servings.
