Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Cooked ham
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while you prepare other ingredients.
Cut the cooked ham into small, bite-sized cubes or strips.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined and slightly warmed, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Grease the inside of the crock pot with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Drain the sliced potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Begin layering half of the potatoes on the bottom of the crock pot.
Add half of the cubed ham on top of the potato layer, followed by 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour half of the cream mixture evenly over the top of the cheese layer.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, ham, and cheddar cheese. Finish by pouring the remaining cream mixture over the top.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese sauce is bubbling.
Once done, carefully remove the lid and let the dish cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve hot. Enjoy!
