Categories     Ham

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups frozen hash browns or 4 cups fresh potatoes
1 (10 ounce) can evaporated milk
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup onion, chopped
1 (12 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies
1/2 teaspoon chili seasoning mix
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican blend cheese, more cheese for the top
2 cups ham, diced, as much as desired

Steps:

  • Layer half the potatoes and ham in a baking dish.
  • Combine flour and milk in a covered container, and shake well, removing all lumps with a fork. Pour into a saucepan, and cook over med-high heat until the mixture thickens.
  • Add tomatoes, onions, half the cheese, and chili seasonings to the pan. Mix well, and allow cheese to melt.
  • Pour half the tomato mixture over the potatoes and ham.
  • Place remaining potatoes and ham on top, and pour the rest of sauce mixture over potatoes.
  • Top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 350, for 30-35 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape best when boiled, making them ideal for picnic potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes until just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy when tossed in the dressing.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a variety of fresh herbs: Herbs like parsley, chives, and dill add a burst of flavor to the potatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: You can add other ingredients to the dressing, such as crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or grated cheese.

Conclusion:

Picnic potatoes are a classic summer dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious side dish that will be the star of your next picnic or potluck.
