Dutch Gouda Escalloped Potatoes

Part of our Dutch Sunday dinner was a recipe for Dutch Gouda Escalloped potatoes from the book Let's Go Dutch. We both loved the flavor. When my wife made it she used mostly regular gouda cheese but also added a little smoked gouda. She also added some bits of ham which were especially tasty.
