Yummy goodness!

Last night I made one of my favorite recipes for leftover ham. It's a potato and ham bake!


The stars of the dish
Potato & Ham Bake
Recipe from Better Homes & Gardens

Ingredients:

1 pound  Yukon gold potatoes, sliced
8  ounce tub  light cream cheese spread with chive and onion
3/4 cup  milk 
1/4 cup  finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon  snipped fresh tarragon or 1/2 tsp. dried tarragon, crushed
8 ounces  cooked boneless ham, cut in bite-sized slices
1 pound  fresh asparagus spears, trimmed, cut in 2 to 3-inch pieces
Tarragon sprigs (optional)





Directions:


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In medium saucepan cook potatoes, covered, in small amount of lightly salted boiling water 5 to 7 minutes, just until tender. Drain; transfer to bowl and set aside. 

2. For sauce, in same saucepan combine cream cheese, milk, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat and whisk until smooth and cheese is melted. Remove from heat; stir in tarragon.


3. Layer potatoes, ham, asparagus, and sauce in 1-1/2-quart baking dish. Bake, covered, 20 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle remaining Parmesan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Top with tarragon and freshly ground black pepper. Serves 4.



Ready to put in the oven!
















Notes: 


I always use russet potatoes because I always have them. I have never used the tarragon either because I never have it on hand. And there are never any leftovers when I make this! 



Yummy!!
