We only make scalloped potatoes a couple times each year, and every time I put this together I have to ask myself why we don’t have it more often. This dish has it all:  it’s easy, economical, makes the house smell incredible, and everyone loves it – especially our boys. With or without the ham, the basic recipe requires precious few ingredients.  Principally, potatoes, onions, milk, salt and pepper.  Throw in a dab of butter, a little cream of something soup, and maybe some leftover ham if you have it and wham!  Things start to delicious in a hurry. There are so many variation for preparing scalloped potatoes – none of them are wrong, as long as the end results are tantalizing and delicious.
