Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the cubed ham and stir to combine.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Slowly whisk in the chicken stock, making sure no lumps form, followed by 1 cup of heavy cream.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set the filling aside.
To prepare the scalloped potato topping, layer the thinly sliced potatoes in a medium bowl and toss them with 1 cup of heavy cream, Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped thyme, and grated nutmeg.
Transfer the ham filling into a 9x13-inch oven-safe baking dish.
Arrange the prepared potato slices in overlapping layers on top of the filling.
Pour any remaining cream and cheese mixture over the potatoes evenly.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, and the filling is bubbly.
Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
