Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups cooked ham
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir in the cooked onion and garlic mixture until well combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked ham, and potato slices. Mix gently to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out in an even layer. If using, sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top for added crunch.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy ham and potato casserole!
