This was my first time making scalloped ham and potatoes last night and the potatoes were crunchy in places. Anyone have a suggestion on how I can reheat and fix the problem?

Add a little extra liquid and cook until potatoes are tender.
This was the second time that I made scalloped potatoes and they were under cooked. Next time I will cook them for a short time in the microwave. I sliced them with a microplane so they were very thin. Next time they will be great.
Microwave covered with a little liquid(this produces steam heat and will not dry out like the oven)!
Separate out the ones that seem hard (use a fork to figure that out), microwave 30-50 seconds, then mix back in and microwave all until hot. Cover both times.
Probably take a fork and punch some holes in your dish; add several tablespoons of milk/cream - and gently move around the contents - lift from bottom so liquid is reaching most of the contents.
If they are still not done to your liking you can microwave 1 minutes and check again - sometimes it takes several minutes and sometimes the potatoes never get soft.
The next time you make this the best way to go about it is to slice the potatoes and cook them for a few minutes in hot water before making your recipe. I find out this works best for me.
For now you will need to add some more milk to the dish and put them in the microwave and start off heating them up for 1 minute. Test the potatoes and see if they are tender. If not heat them again for 1 minute. This should finish to cook them for you.
Just cook the potatoes first with butter and salt when soft then u can add that other stuff jeez!!?
