Saucy Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

By traciesparks

For old-fashioned flavor, try these scalloped potatoes from Elaine Kane of Keizer, Oregon. They cook up tender, creamy and comforting. "Chopped ham adds a hearty touch," she relates.

Great recipe! I was looking for one with evaporated milk (doesn't separate over a long cooking period), and you provided me with a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing!
