Ingredients

• 6 medium (about 2.5 lbs) Russet potatoes
• 2 cups (cooked and diced) Ham
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 2 cups (shredded) Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 medium (thinly sliced) Yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/8-inch-thick rounds using a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife. Set aside in cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture is golden.

Step 4

Slowly add the milk to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Drain the potato slices and pat them dry. Layer 1/3 of the potatoes on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 1/3 of the sliced onions and 1/3 of the diced ham. Pour 1/3 of the cheese sauce over the top. Repeat this process for two more layers, finishing with cheese sauce on top.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the assembled casserole.

Step 8

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 9

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy the smoky, creamy, cheesy goodness!
