Dave's Scalloped Potatoes & Cheese

6 medium potatoes 4 cups ½ & ½ milk
1/2 lbs ham (cubed) 1/8 cup flour
1/2 lbs Velveeta cheese 1/2 tsp salt
1 small onion 1/2 tsp pepper

Procedure
1 Slice potatoes, onions and Velveeta cheese. Cut ham into
small cubes.
2 In a 9" x 14" greased casserole dish place layers of potatoes,
cheese, ham and onions. You should have at least 3 layers.
Sprinkle small amount of milk and flour between layers. Pour
the remaining milk over the final layer. Milk should be just to
top of potatoes but not over.
3 Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove
the cover and bake for another 30 minutes to an hour until the
potatoes are cooked. Potatoes should be soft and not crunchy
when done. Remove from the oven and let sit 20 minutes
before serving.
Servings: 8

Recipe Tips
Place casserole dish on cookie sheet to catch drips from boil
overs.

Venting the lid or aluminum foil during the first hour will help
keep milk from boiling over.

Placing sliced potatoes, flour and milk in a mixing bowl and
mixing with hands can help distribute flour throughout the milk.
Then place potatoes in casserole.

You can use heavy cream instead of the ½ & ½ and then
eliminate the flour.
