Scalloped Potatoes

My favorite scalloped potatoes recipe since the 70's.

2 lbs. potatoes (about 6 medium)
1/4 cup diced onions
3 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup margarine
2 1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup cubed pre-cooked ham

Heat oven to 350'F.

Wash potatoes, peel, and remove eyes.  Slice thinly until the potatoes measure 4 cups.

In a greased  2-quart casserole, arrange potatoes in 4 layers, sprinkling each of the first 3 layers with 1 Tbsp. onion, 1 Tbsp. flour, 1/4 tsp. salt, dash of pepper, and dotting each layer with 1 Tbsp. butter.  Sprinkle top with remaining onion, salt, pepper and dot with remaining butter.

Heat milk just to scalding; pour over potatoes.  Cover; bake 30 minutes.  Uncover; bake 60-70 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.  Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

4-6 Servings.
