Ingredients

• 5 medium Potatoes
• 2 cups Ham
• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 3 medium Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the skillet. Stir and let it heat gently for 2-3 minutes, then remove it from the heat.

Step 6

Dice the ham into bite-sized pieces if it's not pre-diced.

Step 7

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Start layering the ingredients: spread a single layer of sliced potatoes, followed by some ham, wilted spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a cheese layer on top.

Step 8

Pour the cream mixture evenly over the entire dish, allowing it to seep through the layers.

Step 9

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the aluminum foil and return the dish to the oven. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 12

Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
