Scalloped Potatoes w/ Ham and Onion

First of all, let me start out by saying I apologize for the neglect!  My dad's been ill, and that's gotten the majority of my focus, so I haven't really felt like cooking.  But, now that he's more stable and now that Spring seems to be easing in, I've felt happier, so cooking's coming back into my life!  Now, on to the recipe...

Who doesn't love potatoes?  Add some creaminess and some ham and onion and you have perfection!  This scallop potato recipe is as easy as they come and the result is divine!  Try this one soon!

Ingredients:

- 2 cans Cream soup (you can use either Cream of Celery, Cream of Mushroom, or even Cream of Chicken!)
- 1 Cup Milk
- Pepper/Parsley/Paprika to taste
- 4 to 5 potatoes thinly sliced
- 1 onion
- 4 slices of thick cut ham, cubed
- 1 tbsp. Butter

Directions:

1.  Slice up your potatoes (and your ham and onion too)  Make sure you slice them THINLY or they won't cook properly.

2.  Layer your potatoes into your 13X9 inch baking pan.  Toss on the sliced onions and the cubed ham.



3.  In a bowl, combine your soups, your milk, your pepper and your parsley.  Whisk together until smooth.  Pour over potatoes.  Repeat.




4.  Sprinkle your casserole with paprika and dot with the tbsp of butter.  Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour.

5.  Remove and stir.  Place back into the oven for an additional 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked.


Here's the final product....


So full of flavor and so delicious!  I served mine next to a grilled steak and some salad.  Enjoy!
