This is a fancy little side dish that is actually a lot easier to make than one may think! It just takes a little prep as far as slicing the potatoes and making the white sauce. The rest is simple. You can use a mandolin to slice the potatoes but I am a scaredy cat and don’t own one! I just sliced them by hand. I used prosciutto but you can also use ham as the original recipe calls for. We just prefer prosciutto in my house. I hope you try out these scalloped potatoes with prosciutto and enjoy them!
