June 16, 2009 | By Admin In Casseroles,Main Dishes |

1 cup chopped, cooked ham
2 1/2 cups freshly mashed potatoes
1 tablespoon shortening
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon each minced parsley and onion
1/2 teaspoon mustard
1/2 cup hot milk

Mash the potatoes with the shortening and milk until light and smooth. Add ham and seasonings. Grease baking dish, sprinkle in part of the crumbs. Put in ham and potatoes, sprinkle top with the rest of the crumbs. Bake until top is well-browned.

Mashed sweet potatoes are preferred by some for this dish, in which case the mustard and onion may be omitted and a teaspoon of sugar added.
