Unbelievable, managed to find both the Scallped spuds recipes and another that if you like leeks, you'll go wild for, kiddos. (NB: not IP recipes!!).
This one is the "quick-n-dirty"
Scalloped spuds recipe and shockingly...it sounds nuts but it is about 96-98% as good as the one I sent to tempest, with about 5% of the work.
This is that recipe:
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/47...toes-with-ham/
And my notes about it:
- Double the sauce, which means use two cans of the soup, twice the water, season with garlic, salt & pepper to taste (I believe I doubled those too);
- I used 3-4 cups of ham. I cup! Ha! I spit on one cup of ham only! I make mine with leftover Honeybaked Ham bits.
- I did not use Cheddar. I did it the first time I made it and promptly switched it up to Emmenthaler, Swiss, or Gruyere, which I substantially prefer. However, it's also rockin' with Cheddar or pretty much any damned cheese you love.
- Cook on 6 hours on high or overnight on low. The 4 hours didn't do it for me with the increased amount of ingredients.
- Couldn't, really, be easier.
And again...surprised me how
great it came out.
NOW, I also have this,
Scalloped Potatoes with Leeks and Thyme, in the how-fat-can-potatoes-make-me category, which is simply TDF (to die for):

All I can say about this one is
Oh-my-God. It is just all that.
It's an in-betweeny recipe. It's not for those who want to only open cans of soup or the like, but it's not quite as much work as the Diane Phillips recipe that I sent to Tempest. I strongly recommend
against replacing the leeks with sweet onions; the leeks and the thyme (and the heavy cream, let's not blow smoke up our own keisters here) make this recipe what it is.
Pretty straightforward; slice up the spuds, make the sauce (a bit like a bechamel) and pour it over zee spuds, bake ~ 1 hour. OMG, be warned, it's
addictive. My husband will do almost anything to get this.
Again,
not an IP recipe. None of these are; they are regular oven (DP's recipe); crockpot (the Allrecipes site recipe) and this is also regular oven.
