This is excellent and even hubby & the kids liked it. If you cannot find Gruyere Cheese, you can use a high quality swiss but I really do recommend the Gruyere as it is so sweet and creamy, unlike American Swiss.
Scalloped Potato Duo with Ham
(from Christmas with Southern Living - 2003)
1 medium onion, coarsly chopped
1 TBS vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, minced (I often add 4)
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4" slices
2 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4" slices
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups chopped ham (I prefer baked ham over cooked, which can be watery)
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded gruyere cheese, divided
1 3/4 cup whipping cream (can use half and half but will be thinner)
2 TBS butter, cut into pieces
Saute onion in oil over med-high heat for 5 min. Add garlic and saute another 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place potatoes in a large bowl. Combine flour, salt, and pepper; sprinkle over potatoes, tossing to coat. Arrange half of potato mixture in a greased 9x13 baking dish OR 3 quart gratin dish. Top with onion, ham, and 1 cup of cheese. Top with remaining potato mixture. Pour cream over potato mixture. Dot with butter, and cover with foil.
Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes. Uncover, top with remaining 1 cup cheese and bake 20 more minutes or until potatoes are tender and cheese is browned. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
About 6-8 servings.
