Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup extra cheddar cheese, for topping
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice potatoes (about 1/8-inch thick). Dice cooked ham into bite-size cubes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly.
  4. Slowly pour in milk and cream, whisking constantly until smooth. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Remove pan from heat. Stir in shredded cheddar, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until cheese melts and sauce is smooth.
  6. Arrange half the potato slices in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with half the ham. Pour half the cheese sauce over the layer.
  7. Repeat with remaining potatoes, ham, and sauce. Press down gently with a spatula.
  8. Sprinkle extra cheddar cheese over the top. Cover dish tightly with foil.
  9. Bake covered for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 25-30 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender and top is golden brown.
  10. Check for doneness by piercing potatoes with a knife. If needed, bake an extra 5-10 minutes uncovered.
  11. Let casserole rest for 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.

Notes

For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based milk, butter, and cheese. Slice potatoes evenly for best texture. Let casserole rest before serving for easier slicing. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen up to 2 months. Add a splash of milk when reheating if dry.
