$10 Dinners part 12

18. Menu: Potatoes with ham and corn
This is one of our favorites and I make it in the electric frying pan for convenience.

Shopping List: 1 cup leftover diced ham, 12 medium potatoes, olive oil, chopped onion, garlic, celery (optional), milk or mushroom soup, can of corn (or frozen.)

Heat oil in pan; add chopped onion and garlic (and celery if desired). Cover and let soften while you slice up the potatoes. Add potato slices, and stir to mix. Pour in about 1/2 cup milk or 1 can mushroom soup and mix again. Cover and let cook while you warm up the corn. Cook about 30 minutes or until potatoes are cooked and crispy around edges. I turn the dial to about 255 farenheit. Experiment and see what works best for you.
Cost: $1.5o potatoes, $.50 onion and garlic, .05 olive oil, $1.00 ham, $.70 corn, .65 soup.

Total = $4.40

This fed our family of 7 with as much as we could possibly eat.
