Scalloped potatoes, potato gratin, cheesy potatoes, they're all wonderful. Add in some onion for flavor, some ham and broccoli, and you have a complete dinner from the oven with very little work. Bake it earlier and reheat it if you like.... Oh, and if you leave it in for an extra 30 minutes because you got busy and forgot? As long as it's covered, no problem...
Potato, Ham and Broccoli Gratin Time: 70 minutes
A bit of cutting and slicing, add flour and cover with milk and cheese. What could be easier? An hour later a dinner, piping hot and creamy, pops out of the oven, ready to serve.
2 - 3 potatoes, depending on size
1/2 head broccoli
1 onion
8 - 10 oz slice ham - a slice about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm)
thick
1/3 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 tbs Dijon mustard
3/4 cup shredded cheese (3 oz)
Cut broccoli into small florets, including stems. Cut the onion in quarters then slice thinly. Slice the potatoes 1/8 inch (.3cm) thick. Cut ham into 1 inch (2.5 cm) squares. Put the broccoli, potatoes, onions and ham into a large bowl. Sprinkle with flour and toss to coat as evenly as possible. Put the whole lot into a large glass baking dish. Whisk the milk and mustard together and pour carefully over the vegetables. Sprinkle with the cheese, cover and bake at 400F (200C) for an hour or until the potatoes are done. Uncover for the last 10 minutes to brown the cheese. Serve.
