Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Ham
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and slice the russet potatoes into thin, evenly sized rounds (about 1/4 inch thick). Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Dice the ham into small, bite-sized cubes and set it aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Gradually add the milk and chicken broth to the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Drain the sliced potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the potato slices evenly on the bottom. Sprinkle half of the diced ham over the potatoes. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the ham, spreading it evenly.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, ham, and cheese sauce.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
