This easy scalloped potatoes recipe (or potato gratin as some will call it) is one of my favorite recipes when I want to make a homemade potato and ham casserole that everyone will love. Every single time, they will go for seconds or even thirds.

If you’re planning to serve it to a large table, I would definitely plan to make 2 casseroles because they will be gone!

Ingredients 

• Thin Sliced Potatoes –6 cups potato slices, thin sliced (1/4 inch). You can use any type of potatoes: yellow, red or Russet (Idaho) potatoes. To make it easier, you can use a mandoline slicer
• Ham – 2 cups ham, any cooked ham or Easter ham leftovers
• Butter - 4 tablespoons butter
• Milk –3 cups milk, whole milk or 2% milk. 
• Flour - 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• Cheese – 2 cups cheese, cheddar cheese, or a combination of cheddar and mozzarella. Grated cheddar cheese works perfect for this recipe, or a combination of grated mozzarella and cheddar. This scalloped potato recipe has to be cheesy, it ads a bit of richness and a lot of flavor too
• Dried Herbs: I love the taste when adding dried parsley and chives

Directions 

1. Thinly Slice Potatoes – You can use any type of potatoes: yellow, red or Russet (Idaho) potatoes. To make it easier, you can use a mandoline slicer
2. Cube Ham – you can use any type of cooked ham. Perfect way to use up some of the left over Easter ham.
3. Melt Butter- In sauce pan melt butter, add 1/4 cup flour (stirring constantly), add cheese, salt & pepper to taste, and add milk (stirring constantly) until it forms a thick bubble rue.
