Spam-Gratin Potatoes
• Ingredients
1 (12-ounce) Spam Classic (or flavored Spam of your choice), diced and sautéed
1 small onion, diced
1 1/2 sticks butter (cut into 12 tablespoons)
24 sices American cheese
1 1/2 cups milk
5 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a 9-inch-by13-inch pan, prepare your dish using the following layers:
Layer one: 1/3 of the chopped onion, 4 tablespoons butter and 8 slices of cheese (tear cheese into small pieces). Top layer one with 1/2 of the Spam and 1/2 of the potatoes.
Layer two: 1/3 of the chopped onion, 4 tablespoons butter and 8 slices of cheese (tear cheese into small pieces). Top layer two with the remaining potatoes.
Layer three: 1/3 of the chopped onion, 4 tablespoons butter and 8 slices of cheese (tear cheese into small pieces). Top lay three with the remaining Spam.
Pour milk over the finished layers. Bake at 350 degrees for 11/2 to 2 hours. Test the potatoes for doneness. (They should be soft, not firm.) Allow to set for 10 minutes and enjoy!
