Ingredients

• 6 medium Yukon gold potatoes
• 2 cups Cooked ham
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Shredded Gruyere cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Herbs de Provence
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the Yukon gold potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds using a knife or mandolin. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

Dice the cooked ham into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, making sure there are no lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, Herbs de Provence, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Drain and pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 8

Layer one-third of the potato slices evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with one-third of the diced ham and one-third of the cheese sauce. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with the cheese sauce on top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 11

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
