Ingredients

• 6 medium (about 2.5 pounds) Russet potatoes
• 2 cups, diced Ham
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Yellow onion
• 2 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Paprika
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into 1/4-inch rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until smooth and bubbling, forming a roux.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Spray the inside of the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray. Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes evenly at the bottom of the pot.

Step 5

Top the potatoes with one-third of the diced ham and one-third of the sliced onions. Sprinkle one-third of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 6

Pour one-third of the prepared sauce evenly over the layered ingredients.

Step 7

Repeat the layers two more times: potatoes, ham, onions, cheese, and sauce, ending with a final layer of cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 5 hours or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the sauce is bubbling.

Step 9

Once done, sprinkle with paprika and parsley for garnish, if desired. Let the dish sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
