Scalloped Sweet Potatoes With Ham image

This recipe was born back in the early '70s when I offered to help in my mother-in-law's kitchen's at Thanksgiving. I asked where each key ingredient was, and was given the answer "don't have it, I have this." The original recipe was nothing even close to this one. I made the original later; I like this one better.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 2/3 cups milk
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, plus
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
3/4 lb ham (cubed)

Steps:

  • Gently boil the sweet potatoes until the skins can be slipped (a fork will easily pierce the potato, but not go into the center.) Drain the potatoes. Cool until they can be handled, then slice into 1/4 inch slices.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a double boiler, melt the butter. Add the onions and let them cook until translucent. Stir in the flour, mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir a few minutes until it is thickened and slightly changes color. Stirring, gradually add the milk. Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese until melted, then remove from heat.
  • Spray a 9" x 13" rectangle baking dish with Pam or grease it. Then layer 1/2 the sliced potatoes, 1/2 the ham, 1/2 the cheese sauce twice.
  • Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and bake 30 minutes at 350°F.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a great meal to make ahead of time and reheat.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but this dish was actually really good. The ham and cheese helped to balance out the sweetness of the potatoes.

This recipe is a keeper! The sweet potatoes were caramelized and tender, the ham was salty and smoky, and the cheese was melted and bubbly. It was a perfect comfort food.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more spices or herbs. However, the sweet potatoes were cooked perfectly.
