Scalloped Potatoes

This is our favorite companion to a delicious Ham dinner.

Directions:

Peel and slice evenly potatoes (we use a mandolin slicer). Grease a 9x13 pan and put a layer of potatoes on bottom. Sprinkle lightly with flour and dot with butter or bacon grease. Sprinkle diced onions on layer, then add another layer of potatoes. Once again sprinkle lightly with flour and dot with butter or bacon grease. This time sprinkle bacon on layer, then add another layer of potatoes. Repeat until pan is full, alternating layers with bacon and onions.

Heat the following in a bowl in the microwave:
  • 2 1/2 cups milk or cream
  • 2 1/2 tsp. salt (less, if you use lots of bacon or bacon grease)
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. dried mustard
Bake at 350 degrees for 1-2 hours, until potatoes are soft. If potatoes aren't cooking fast enough, it may be necessary to cover with tinfoil to prevent top layer of potatoes from getting too hard.
