"Mashed Potatoes with Ham evolved from scalloped potatoes, which are tasty but time-consuming to bake. "I warmed up leftover mashed potatoes, then decided to throw in some ham to save a dish," Kathy explains. "The next time I made it, I added a cheese and crumb topping to give this casserole an appealing golden look."

Tips:

  • If you don't have any leftover mashed potatoes, you can make some from scratch. Just boil some potatoes until they are tender, then mash them with some butter, milk, and salt and pepper.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the casserole a lot of flavor.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The potatoes should be heated through, but they shouldn't be mushy.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a side of your favorite vegetables.

Conclusion:
