Potato/Ham Potluck combines potatoes, sour cream, diced ham, scallions and cheddar cheese.
I had some leftover ham and was looking for a recipe that would use it. This one is a real stick-to-your-ribs, winter comfort food. Served with freshly steamed broccoli or green beans, it makes a great cold evening meal. And you can make it ahead and just heat it in the oven before serving.
Potato/Ham Potluck Favorite
Serves 16 as a side or 6 to 8 as a main course
• 8 medium potatoes (about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups (8-ounce package) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1/2 cup diced ham
• Sliced green onions (optional)
Place potatoes in large saucepan. Cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole dish.
Return potatoes to saucepan; add evaporated milk, sour cream, salt and pepper. Mash until smooth (I don’t mash them too smooth). Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese and ham. Spoon mixture into prepared casserole dish.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and green onions. Bake for an additional 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
