HAM AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Ham and Potato Casserole image

I had the best Home Ec teacher in Jr & Sr High School, Mrs. Carol Renfro. This woman really knew how to cook and how to teach others how to cook as well. This was one of our first recipes we had to make once we started cooking. I still have my original recipe card (did I really used to write like that?!) and we have this often. I hope you will enjoy this as much as we do! Prep time does not include times to cook ham or potatoes.

While potatoes are cooling, prepare white sauce.
Melt butter in medium sauce pan over medium heat.

Peel and dice the potatoes (approximately 1/2" pieces).
Place the potatoes in casserole dish in an even layer.
Spread ham pieces over the top of the potatoes.
Add remaining cheese to the white sauce and give a final stir (this last addition of cheese should not melt right away) and pour over the ham and potatoes.
