Directions
Scalloped Sweet Potatoes With Ham, This recipe was born back in the early ’70s when I offered to help in my mother-in-law’s kitchen’s at Thanksgiving I asked where each key ingredient was, and was given the answer don’t have it, I have this The original recipe was nothing even close to this one I made the original later; I like this one better , I cut up a couple pounds of sweet potatoes to fry for Superbowl, but with all the food served that day didn’t get to it, So upon googleing ingrediants I had came upon this recipe and I’m sooo glad I did! I followed the recipe exactly, although my yams were sliced not cubes I have tried many sweet potato recipes and this is by far my, and my familys fave I know I’m going to be making this over and over in the future I made it days ago and my family is still talking about it Thanks so much for posting this amazing recipe! It was perfect , I’m always interested in new ways to prepare yams, & this recipe is A REAL WINNER ~ Different, easy to make & very nice tasting! I chopped the unpeeled yams into 1/4 pieces & steamed them & then went on to Step 2 of the directions! What made this so different (& so nice)for me was the inclusion of both cheddar cheese & ham! Definitely a keeper recipe! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the Spring’s Pick A Chef]
