This makes a lot of leftovers! Mike even eats this for breakfast sometimes! This is a recipe that my great-grandmother gave to us years ago! Let me just say that this is so much yummier than hamloaf! ;)
Here's the recipe: Cheesy Ham and Potatoes
5 pounds potatoes
1 ham steak, cut into bite size pieces
salt and pepper to taste
Cheese Sauce:
In skillet, heat 2/3 cup butter. Stir 3 level tablespoons flour. Let it cook a little, but not too brown. Add milk slowly, stirring constantly as it thickens, probably 3 cups. Add 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Stir as it melts and thickens a little more. Omit or add milk as you feel necessary.
Cook 5 pounds of potatoes with peeling on, cool completely. Peel and slice or dice, but not too fine. In baking dish, put the potatoes, ham pieces and salt and pepper as you like. Pour cheese sauce over all. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in a 350* oven. The top should be nicely browned. If it browns too quickly, lay foil on top.
Notes: The more cheese you add, the cheesier the flavor!
Enjoy!
