Ham and
Scalped Potatoes
Peel 4 medium/large potatoes.
Slice about 1/8"
thick to make 4 cups.
Butter a glass cake
pan (1 1/2 x 9 x 9) or (1 1/2 x 9 x 14),
then spread potatoes in layers. Between each layer,
sprinkle with a pinch of flour, a bit of minced onion
(seasoning, total 1 tbsp for the whole thing), salt, pepper
and a few dots of butter.
Use extra butter on
top layer.
Add hot (warm) milk
to cover about 3/4 of the potatoes.
Bake uncovered at 360o
for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
15 minutes before potatoes
are done, start ham.
Preheat pan to medium
high on burner, then add a 1/2 cube of
butter.
Toss in ham round and
reduce heat to medium or medium/low
for about 5 minutes. Repeat on other side. You're just
heating the ham, it's already cooked.
Serve with salad or
string beans or frozen peas.
