BAKED HAM RECIPE AND SCALLOPED POTATOES



BAKED HAM RECIPE AND SCALLOPED POTATOES 

Why This Combination Works

The savory-sweet baked ham balances beautifully with rich, tender scalloped potatoes. Slow baking keeps the ham juicy while the potatoes absorb cream, butter, and cheese for a luxuriously comforting side.

BAKED HAM

Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (8–10 lb)

  • ½ cup water or apple juice (for pan)

Classic Ham Glaze

Ham Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).

  2. Place ham fat-side up on a rack in a roasting pan.

  3. Add water or apple juice to the pan.

  4. Score ham in a diamond pattern.

  5. Cover loosely with foil and bake 15–18 minutes per pound, until internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

  6. Mix glaze ingredients.

  7. During the final 30–40 minutes, remove foil and brush ham generously with glaze every 10–15 minutes.

  8. Allow glaze to caramelize until golden.

  9. Rest 15 minutes before slicing.

CREAMY SCALLOPED POTATOES

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2½ cups whole milk (or half-and-half)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar or Gruyère cheese

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

  • Optional: ¼ cup grated Parmesan for topping

Scalloped Potato Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  3. Melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour; cook 1 minute.

  4. Gradually whisk in milk and cream; cook until thickened.

  5. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  6. Layer half the potatoes in dish, pour half the sauce, sprinkle with cheese.

  7. Repeat layers.

  8. Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes.

  9. Remove foil; bake 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden.

  10. Rest 10 minutes before serving.

Serving the Meal

Arrange sliced ham on a platter and serve alongside scalloped potatoes. Add:

  • Green beans or roasted carrots

  • Fresh rolls or biscuits

  • A crisp green salad

Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Slice potatoes thin and evenly for uniform cooking.

  • Yukon Golds give extra creaminess.

  • Let both dishes rest before serving—this sets juices and sauce.

  • Potatoes can be assembled 1 day ahead and baked fresh.

Storage & Leftovers

  • Refrigerate leftovers up to 4–5 days

  • Reheat covered at 325°F

  • Excellent next-day flavors
