One of the meals that my wife makes is au gratin potatoes with ham. Her au gratin potatoes come from a box and the ham comes from a package :tsk:. I was surfing the webs and found a way to make ham from country style ribs. I thought that I could do that and improve upon my wife's recipe. :heh:

On Friday evening, I rubbed some country style ribs with Morton's tender quick. This evening, I took them out of the fridge.

I rubbed some of them with Bone Sucking Sauce and the others with McCormick's applewood rub. Put them in the smoker at about 260*.

Cooked them to an internal temperature 150* and gave them a well deserved rest.

The color looked good to me and it had a great smoked ham flavor. Based on the feedback on the rest of the family, the recipe was successful.

Now... for part two; the au gratin potatoes.

I diced some onions, sliced some potatoes, and chopped some of the ham.

While I started the cheese sauce, my daughter put the potatoes, onions, and ham in a dutch oven.

Once the cheese sauce was nice and smooth, it was poured over the potatoes, onions, and ham.

Very nice!
Potatoes au gratin is one of my standard sides...easy to make and most of the time you got all the ingredients in house.
