Escalloped Potatoes And Ham - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 lb. ham
6 to 8 medium potatoes
2 Tbsp. stick butter
2 c. milk
1 tsp. salt (if required)
1/8 tsp. pepper

Preparation

Cut ham into 1/2-inch cubes.
Pare and slice potatoes.
Heat milk to boiling; add ham and potatoes, and again heat to boiling. Add salt if tenderized ham is used.
Turn into a greased 6 or 8-cup baking dish; dot with the butter cubes.
Bake, uncovered, at 325\u00b0 for 30 to 40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Ham cubes are more flavorful if pan fried before adding to the potatoes.
