How to make Ham n’ Cheese Scalloped Potatoes I make this dish at least once a month in my house for my family. It is one of their favorites. To make this I will need these ingredients; 8 cups thinly sliced potatoes, 4 cups cubed cooked ham (usually one ham steak), ¼ cup butter or margarine, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 2 ½ cups milk, 3 cups (12 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese.
