Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Lean cooked ham, diced
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup Plain Greek yogurt, non-fat
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for topping)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x9-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into thin, even rounds (approximately 1/4 inch thick). Parboil the potato slices in salted boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, Greek yogurt, low-sodium chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the sauce base for the casserole.

Step 4

Layer half of the parboiled potato slices evenly in the prepared casserole dish. Spread half of the ham mixture over the potatoes, followed by half of the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, ham mixture, and cheese, finishing with a final sprinkle of cheese on top.

Step 6

Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
