Scalloped potaoes and ham. Since we have all the stuff, including a wonderful ham steak from my fave local farm, ... can do. Old fashioned cooking coming right up.

Sounds great. I am fasting today.

[Mik]

I very seldom make stuff like this. It was pretty fun and my mandoline worked beautifully. In the oven now.

Recipe saved.

Thanks, Mik!

[Mik]

We will see if it's good. I've never made scalloped potatoes before.

[George K]

@Mik I love scalloped spuds, but MY favorite redhead might be skeptical of the ham. On a first try, I might skip that.

[Mik]

I didn't put the ham in with it. It's such a beautiful ham steak, I just couldn't bear to cube it up.

Good decision.

I haven’t had scalloped potatoes in ages. My mom made them all the time.

And I have potatoes.

[Mik]

Well, they're not exactly health food. Which is why I don't make such things regularly. Lots of salt and fat. I generally only get stuff like that at pot lucks and funerals.

[Mik]

Out of the oven. I should not have put cheese on top. Oh well. Live and learn.

[George K]

@Mik ignore the crunchy bits and embrace the wonderful cheesiness.

What kind of spuds did you use, russet?

[mark]

We're having ham and potatoes tonight!

[Mik]

Yup Russet. But I like the crispy bits best. The ham steak was incredible - very low salt, all smoky flavor.

I didn't know you played mandolin..............

[Larry]

Now you watch... the Trump bashers will start saying I recommend putting mandolins in the oven....

@Larry aren’t they that lizard that started the covid thing?
