Ham & Potatoes au Gratin

Ham & Potatoes au Gratin

Adapted from a recipe in the Casserole Cook Book, page 17.
This recipe is from a cookbook titled Casserole Cook Book by Better Homes & Gardens, printed in 1961. Excellent casserole that is easy to put together, and the kitchen will smell great when this is baking. The cheese sauce is light but overall a great tasting casserole.
