Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups Cooked ham, diced
- 1.5 cups Canned corn, drained
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Place the slices in a large bowl of water to prevent browning and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, drained corn, and diced onion. Stir until evenly mixed.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a paper towel. Layer 1/3 of the potato slices evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Spread half of the ham and corn mixture over the potato layer. Pour 1/3 of the cheese sauce over the top.
Repeat with another layer of potatoes, the remaining ham and corn mixture, and another 1/3 of the cheese sauce.
Finish with a final layer of potatoes and the remaining cheese sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow the scallop to cool for 5–10 minutes. Optional: Garnish with paprika and chopped parsley before serving.
