3. Still Hungry?
This dish is a crowd-pleaser with its creamy sauce, chunks of ham and potato slices. I always enjoyed it when Mother made it. I added the parsley and the thyme, and now my husband and five children request it.

Good Home Cooking
Suzanne B - September 10, 2007 01:49:23 PM PSTThe recipe is very good but you can slim it down with the use of skim or 1% and the cheese slim down to use of the Kraft 2% cheese. Also, for future knowledge, when you use skim or 1% to make a sauce base for gravy or mac and cheese it will be just as creamy and use cornstarch instead of flour as that is less dense and leaner calories!

Make it fast for hungry kids
feedmykids - January 14, 2008 10:11:48 PM PSTInstead using 6 tablespoons of butter, I replaced half of butter with olive oil and mixed in some Italian cheese mix. After mixing all the ingredients together in the baking dish, I first microwaved the dish for 10 minutes, then placed it in the oven at 400 degrees for another 25 minutes. It had a perfect cresty on top. A great receipe for the leftover ham. Everyone loved it!

Yuuuuuuuuuuum
zydeco_woman - January 4, 2008 11:07:05 AM PSTI DO like onions so I added two (but sliced and sauteed them a bit before adding to the potatoes). I never use anything but skim milk and it was creamy and delicious. My freshly-ground pepper and garden thyme helped too. LOVED IT!
No cheese though.........didn't see it in the recipe..........didn't need it.
