Scalloped Potatoes au Gratin Recipe

Recipe by: Bawbwa

"My mom made scalloped potatoes this way, and I love the recipe because it always tastes great. You don't have to add seasonings and you will always have a consistent product. Turn it into a main dish by adding ham slices to bottom of pan or ham pieces layered in."

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2Spread about 2/3 of one can of mushroom soup into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish. Layer about half the ham slices, 1/3 of the potato slices, half the onion slices, and 1/3 of the Italian cheese blend, respectfully, atop the mushroom soup.
3Layer about half the remaining potatoes atop the first layers. Mix soup remaining in first can with milk; pour over the potatoes.
4Finish layering with remaining ham slices, remaining onion slices, about half the remaining cheese, and the remaining potato slices. Spread second can of mushroom soup over the top layer. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the soup. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
5Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove foil and continue baking another 45 minutes. Turn heat off, replace aluminum foil on the dish, and let the potatoes bake in the cooling oven until the sauce is absorbed, about 30 minutes more.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
You can use a Mexican-style cheese blend or even create your own blend of your favorite cheeses.
If you prefer yours a bit saucier, you could omit leaving the dish in the oven after the first 1 hour 45 minutes.
You can use chunks of ham or slices, and they can be either put in a single layer at the bottom or layered in as you have in the recipe.
