Ham & Swiss Potato Casserole
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min.
YIELD: 8 servings.
No one will be able to resist the classic trio of ham, Swiss and potatoes in this comforting bake. It was the result of creative experimentation when I wanted to use up ingredients I had on hand. I sometimes replace the ham with turkey ham. —Sarah Wilham, Elkhart, Illinois
