Tonight was a dinner classic. Baked ham and homemade cheesy potatoes. I also made my favorite creamy cucumber salad. It was a great meal for a long, busy day!
Ham - just added a little brown sugar and leftover pineapple! Covered with foil and baked at 350 for 30 minutes.
Cheesy potatoes -
1. I sliced 4 good sized, peeled potatoes into thin pieces with the mandolin
2. I put them in the microwave for 5 minutes to get them softer so they would bake faster.
3. Chopped 2 large green onions and sauteed in butter for a few minutes to soften them up.
4. Put the potatoes and onions in a butter-greased baking dish, and spread evenly in the dish.
5. Heated 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan. Added 3 tablespoons of flour and about 1/2 cup of water, stirring with a wisk until well blended. Added about 1/4 cup of milk and stirred constantly. Added in about 1 cup of shredded cheese (I used cheddar). Stirred with wisk, then poured over potatoes/onions. Made sure to cover entire top of potatoes. I put that in the oven for 30 minutes also.
Then I made the cucumber salad. I used about 1/4 cup of vinegar, 1/4 cup of sugar and about 1/2 cup of sour cream. I mixed it with a lot of dried dill, then added in 3 thinly sliced cucumbers and about 1/4 sliced purple onion. Mixed it all up and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. The potatoes and ham were done, but my family was not back yet. So it stayed in the oven an extra 10 minutes, which didn't hurt at all. Dinner was really good tonight.
