Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that is both rich and simple. In this recipe, we added a mixture of sweet potatoes and yellow potatoes (we used a ratio of about 2/3 sweet potato to 1/3 yellow potato) to change the flavor. With a pound of Petit Jean hickory smoked ham, this dish is hearty enough to stand alone, and is perfect to use up any leftover ham from a holiday!
