Scalloped Potatoes with Ham
"The scalloped potatoes In The red Better Homes & Gardens cookbook is pretty close to mine. I would make more layers and include ham instead of onion. If the white sauce doesn’t almost cover the potatoes just pour more milk in to cover. It works. It’s hard to judge how much sauce will cover what you have." - Judy Walker
Ingredients
1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
2 cloves garlic, minced
