Recipe Talk

I have the whole series of the McCalls Cooking School recipe book from the 80's. My favorite recipe was the Ham cooked with Scalloped Potatoes. I removed the page to have handy and now I cannot find it. I think that it got lost a few years ago when doing addition to home/kitchen. Can anyone help? I know that you cook the ham a while, then add the potatoes and other ingredients, but cannot remember them. It was a family favorite (husband's especially) and was used frequently. Help!

Thank you.
