About this Recipe
With Sheet-Pan Scalloped Potatoes you can get all the taste and texture of the ultimate cheesy potatoes, but baked easily on a large pan. It’s great for the holidays when you have lots of people to serve or to bring along to a potluck or party. It also frees up a casserole dish for the other recipes you’re making.
Ingredients
- Yukon Gold Potatoes: The perfect potato for this recipe because they don’t get too mushy during the baking process. They are sturdy and soak up the cream and cheese sauce so that they are creamy and tender, but still maintain some structure for the perfect scalloped dish.
- Swiss Cheese: Typically scalloped potatoes are made with cheddar cheese, but this recipe swaps in delicious, flavorful melty Swiss cheese. It’s a wonderful sweet and nutty cheese that pairs perfectly with the ham slices.
- Deli Ham: Using simple deli ham in this recipe makes it super easy because you don’t have to worry about cooking the ham. Simply slice and layer it with the potatoes.
- Seasonings: This dish gets lots of additional savory and unique flavor from the mustard, paprika, and garlic cloves in the recipe.
What to Pair With
This recipe would go great with other holiday staples like Baked Ham and Roast Turkey, right alongside more traditional sides like Soft Dinner Rolls and Roasted Vegetables. Everyone is sure to love these cheesy potatoes and how well they pair with the rest of the meal.
How to Store
- Serve: Ham and Swiss Scalloped Potatoes can be kept at room temperature for 2 hours. For best taste, keep in a warm oven so they stay hot and the cheese stays melty.
- Store: If you have leftovers, you can transfer them to an airtight container or dish covered in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Once cooled, transfer to a freezer safe container and seal tightly. Use plastic wrap between lid and container to prevent freezer burn and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and reheat in the oven.
Variations
- Seasonings: To enhance the flavor of this recipe, you can mix in different seasonings like garlic powder, ground mustard, onion powder, oregano, or parsley. Add some spice to the recipe with a teaspoon cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Potatoes: If you don’t have Yukon Gold Potatoes, some good alternatives to use are Russet Potatoes, Fingerlings Potatoes, or Red Potatoes. Since you are slicing them thin, you want to use a medium to firm potato, so avoid using softer baby varieties or reduce the cooking time.
- Cheese: Along with the Swiss cheese, you can mix in some other kinds of shredded cheese in the cheese sauce. These creamy potatoes would taste great with Cheddar Cheese, Brie, Gouda, and Parmesan.
- Brown Sugar Ham: Use the leftovers from your Baked Ham sliced thinly. Bring that same flavor into this recipe by tossing the ham slices with a butter and brown sugar mixture.
