Tempt My Tummy …White Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes

I have added a new recipe to my menu plan for this week. With the potatoes, cheese, and ham – it has comfort and tempting written all over it! Sorry I don’t have a yummy picture – I am not making the recipe for a few more days.  But, I had to go ahead and share the recipe.  I know you will love it.

White Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 3 cups 2% milk
• 1 cup cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 8 cups thinly sliced and peeled potatoes
• 3-1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
• 2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese

In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender.  Stir in flour, parsley, salt, pepper, and thyme until blended.  Gradually add milk.  Bring to a boil, cook and stir until thickened.  Stir in soup.  Remove from heat; stir in sour cream until blended.

In a large bowl, combine potatoes and ham.  In a greased 13×9 baking dish, layer half of the potato mixture, cheese and white sauce.  Repeat layers.

Cover and bake at 375 for 30 minutes.  Uncover;  bake 45 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.
