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!

Marilyn, you need to stop giving me these kind of recipes (never ever stop). 🙂
Yum is not a strong enough word (is that too cheesy? Hammy?) lol 😉

Wondering…can we substitute sausage. My family would love this and this one would really be a great breakfast. Love this one.
You sure can. They are both a bit greasy and salty so no other changes are needed.!
You always have the best recipes! I can’t wait to try this.

I usually do okay with the fact that we don’t have meat around our house (not vegetarian, budget just doesn’t allow for much meat), but gosh, now I really wish we had some of the piggy variety so I could make this! Thanks for sharing it at #FridayFrivolity this week!
It is great with veggies too. Let me know if you change it up! Have a great week!
So yummy! Makes me think of Easter with ham and augratin potatoes.

Potatoes au gratin is one of my favorites!!! When my parents made it for dinner when I was a younger, I was the happiest kid. 🙂
Sadly, not everyone here shares the same love of potatoes au gratin as I do.
