Mashed Potatoes with Ham
"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."4 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 25 min.
