Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

This recipe is a comfort from growing up. My Mom would always use the leftover ham to make it. I had never made it myself until now, and I forgot just how delicious it was! There is no science to this recipe, just eyeball the amounts of potatoes and ham to feed the number of people you need to.

leftover sliced ham
potatoes, peeled and sliced
3 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. flour
2 c. milk
salt
pepper

1. Melt butter in a saucepan and add flour, stirring with a whisk. Add milk and continue to whisk until the mixture thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and add a bit of sauce to the dish, just enough to cover the bottom. Make a layer of potatoes, then a layer of ham and continue to alternate (I made 2 layers of each).
3. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the layered potatoes and ham. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
