Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Cooked ham
• 2 cups Swiss cheese
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
• 1 small amount Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 3

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into even rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 4

Dice the cooked ham into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 6

Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Step 8

Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of Swiss cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Top with one-third of the diced ham and pour one-third of the cheese sauce evenly over the top.

Step 10

Repeat the layers two more times, ending with the cheese sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Swiss cheese evenly over the top.

Step 11

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

Step 12

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

Step 13

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, savory dish!
