These scalloped potatoes will be your new go to. I promise. The leftovers are just as good if not better the next day! My husband loves to make these, but being from Idaho, he loves all things potatoes.

This dish makes a great side dish to ham for your Christmas dinner with or without cheese, or you can use your left over ham and chunk it into the scalloped potatoes and it is a main dish a few days later. We make rice with our ham, as that is what my hubby likes, and then a few days later or maybe a week later, we make my ham and scalloped potatoes for dinner. 🙂

Made a huge pan of these this weekend, they were delicious. I froze enough for 3 future meals (I doubled the recipe) and I have a serving in the fridge to have later this week with ham steaks. I really like that they don’t come from a box and weren’t made with powdered cheese and reconstitued potatoes. 🙂

Isn’t it funny how much better they taste when not in a box? Enjoy your leftovers. 🙂

Just to be sure I do this correctly, do you bake and then freeze?
Reply
Hi Wendy! Yes, you would bake and then freeze. Then reheat when ready to serve.
Reply
Can you put it straight from freezer to oven ? Or do you have to thaw it first?
Reply
Hi Sarah, you would thaw before reheating it.

How long does it take to thaw?
Reply
I would give it at least 24 hours to thaw in the refrigerator, which is my default for thawing freezer meals. You could also use the microwave to thaw immediately before baking or extend the baking time to at least 30 minutes if you are preparing from frozen. Here is a link to additional info on various thawing methods to help find what would work best for you: https://onceamonthmeals.com/bl…

Can I freeze this dish without baking it first? I assume it will take longer than 20 minutes to cook once thawed? I cooked my first dish for 45 minutes.
Reply
Since this is for an 8×8 pan, it should take about 20 minutes if thawed. However, if you change the number of servings, it may require additional baking time.
Reply
For reheating, is it also to be uncovered? Thanks!
Reply
Hi Alison! You’ll want to reheat this covered to keep it from drying out or over-browning the top. But, since every oven is a bit different, I would suggest checking in on it about 3/4 of the way through. If you want to brown it more, uncover it for the last bit of reheating before serving.
