Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

We are moving into comfort food season (even in San Diego - don't try to tell me that we don't have seasons here) and I've been sick so we've been leaning even farther that way. Scalloped Potatoes and Ham is a dish from both of our childhoods. Well, sort of. Sherry's was called Potato-Ham Scallop. I'm pushier than Sherry is, so we make my version. I'm sure I got the recipe from my Mom at some point, but we couldn't find it so Sherry cobbled together a version from two recipes in the good-old "red and white cookbook" (the undisputed king of childhood cuisine, at least for us). We use a vintage (i.e. 80's) edition.

The two recipes are Potato-Ham Scallop (Sherry's childhood dish) and Scalloped Potatoes (which is different in preparation in that it uses a white sauce). The combining of the two recipes (not to mention finding them) is left as an exercise to the reader.

One hint, though - neither recipe uses cream of mushroom soup, which is unusual for the era.

Edit: Ok, this post is getting visited a lot by people presumably searching for a recipe. We'll put something together soon...
