Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups fully cooked ham
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Dice the fully cooked ham into small cubes. Shred cheddar cheese and set it aside separately.
Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Whisk in the flour and cook for another minute, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 5 minutes).
Stir in salt, black pepper, and paprika to season the sauce. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Spray the inside of the crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Assemble the dish by layering 1/3 of the potato slices at the bottom of the crock pot. Top with 1/3 of the diced ham, followed by a layer of 1/3 of the shredded cheese.
Pour about 1/3 of the creamy sauce over the cheese layer.
Repeat the layering process (potatoes, ham, cheese, sauce) two more times, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the dish is bubbly.
Once done, allow the scalloped potatoes to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
