Ham & Potatoes au Gratin
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.

For this I am going with High cost per serving based on the ham, which is available but at a premium price.
