Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 cups cooked ham
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir in the cooked onion and garlic mixture until well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked ham, and potato slices. Mix gently to coat everything evenly.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out in an even layer. If using, sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top for added crunch.

Step 7

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 8

After 40 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy ham and potato casserole!
