Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Cooked ham
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8-inch thickness). Set them aside submerged in cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of the sharp cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Drain the sliced potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 8

Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the diced ham and half of the cheese sauce. Spread evenly.

Step 9

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, ham, and cheese sauce.

Step 10

Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and the Parmesan cheese.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 13

Allow the dish to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
