Ingredients
1 box scalloped potatoes mix
1½ cups diced cooked ham
Milk (amount listed on the potato box, usually about 2 cups)
Optional Add-Ins
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Black pepper or garlic powder
Chopped green onions or parsley
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or the temperature listed on the potato mix package.
Prepare the Potatoes
In a medium baking dish, combine the potato slices and seasoning packet from the box.
Add Ham & Milk
Stir in the diced ham and the milk required by the package directions.
Mix Well
Gently stir so the potatoes, ham, and sauce mix evenly.
Bake
Bake uncovered for 40–50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden.
Serve
Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens.
Tips for Success
Use leftover holiday ham for extra flavor.
Add cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for a creamy, cheesy finish.
If you like a thicker sauce, stir in 2 tablespoons sour cream before baking.
