"Kiss Me" Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

"Kiss Me"  That's what my hubby said when he tasted my new Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes and Ham. That's a huge compliment from my guy!

Life is good when your family loves your homemade gluten free meals!

I made this with a homemade gluten free Bechamel sauce that you have to try. It's so easy and delicious. You'll be putting this sauce on everything like I do!

Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

Ingredients:

• 4-5 medium Russet Potatoes, par cooked * cooled and sliced
• 2 cups cooked ham, cubed
• 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• Bechamel Sauce  (apx 2 1/2-3 cups)
• Salt and Pepper
• 1 clove Roasted garlic, minced  (or 1/2 clove of fresh garlic, minced) opt.  I smash the roasted clove and stir into the sauce prior to layering.

Instructions:

 Preheat Oven to 350 degrees/176 C

Grease the bottom of a 9 x13 baking dish with high sides

1. Lay 1/2 of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of your baking dish, slightly overlapping them until the bottom of the dish is covered.  Season with a little salt and fresh ground pepper
2. Put 1/2 of the ham over the potatoes and press down a little
3. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cheese over the ham
4. Ladle or spoon 1/2 of the Bechamel (white sauce) over the ham
5. Do it again
6. Lay out the rest of the potatoes, overlapping and covering the sauce.  Grind on a little more pepper.  Then, the rest of the ham ( sprinkle around and press down slightly)  and the rest of the cheese.
7. Now, top with the last half of the Bechamel sauce  (whisk well- if it's lumpy)
8. Bake casserole on a cookie sheet in the middle of the oven for 30-40 minutes or until browned and bubbling.

*Par cooked potatoes.  Scrub potatoes and microwave for 4-5 minutes or until a knife just pierces but the potatoes are still firm. 

You can use raw potatoes in this dish.  Slice them very thin and increase cooking time by 15-20 minutes.
