Ham and Potatoes au Gratin

Casseroles· Recipe Archive

Ham and Potatoes Casserole
Ham and Potatoes Casserole

This classic, cheesy potato bake becomes a crowd pleasing main dish when you stir in ham and roasted red peppers.

The potato slices give the dish a texture that is firmer than the diced or mashed potatoes. I use a box mix more often that not. But for a holiday gathering I boil my potatoes and slice them.

I am always reminded of my mom when served with a green veggie. I never liked this casserole as a kid. Maybe I was being obstinate. In those days I didn’t much like anything but peanut butter and jelly.

It took me a long time to enjoy new recipes. I guess trying to impress my husband finally paid off!

I have some great tips on getting the most from your crock pot at How Not To Make The Worst Crock Pot Meal Ever.

The secret to mashed potatoes lies in the right floury potato (the russet), a potato ricer and, of course, indulgent fats such as cream and butter. Slow Cooker meals are the best.

    Sadly, not everyone here shares the same love of potatoes au gratin as I do.
    Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us at #MMBH, I’m going to give it a try and maybe, just maybe, I’ll spark a new love affair with these yummy potatoes. 🙂
