ALEXIS NOTE: I used regular potatoes , we didn't have molasses so I used some brown sugar and whatever beer dad left here :)

ALEXIS NOTE: I of course did the easy way out and didn't boil the potatoes and shred them. I just sliced them thin with my slicer. It did take a little longer to cook but they were delish!!
This recipe you've seen, but I snuck in our healthy version of Mac and Cheese .. lol know one knew. For that recipe head to this post: Welcome to the Jungle (AKA Gym)
Then I did the famous Ham glaze, that is now requested every time I do ham. My Grandmother LOVED this, first words when she walked in "Did you make the Glaze?". For that recipe check out this post: MSM ~ Thanksgiving Day Goodies!And then you ask what do I do with my left over ham? Well you take some of it, don't worry more left over ham recipes to come! :) My first left over ham is Ham & Cheese Ziti.
