Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Ham
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly using a knife or mandoline for even cooking.
Dice the ham into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly.
Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the diced ham. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the layer.
Repeat with the remaining potatoes, ham, and cheese sauce, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the dish for a crunchy topping.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
