Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes and Ham

These potatoes can be a side dish and are filling enough to be the main course. the beauty of this recipe is it uses up leftover ham. We froze that last chunk of that ham from Easter (since we had finally got tired of eating it). A month later we pulled it out of the freezer to give it new life. Everyone loved these cheesy gooey potatoes.
