HAM AND POTATO CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Arrange a rack in the top third of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish (such as an 8x8x2-inch) with cooking spray or butter.
- Peel and cut 2 pounds russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes (about 5 1/2 cups). Place in a large bowl and add 1 cup diced ham. Dice 1/2 medium yellow onion. Grate 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese on the large holes of a box grater (about 2 cups).
- Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add 2 cups whole or 2% milk, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and stir until the flour is dissolved. Bring to a simmer, stirring often. Simmer until thickened to the consistency of cream sauce, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and stir until completely melted. Taste and season with more kosher salt as needed.
- Pour over the potato and ham and stir to combine. Transfer to the baking dish and spread into an even layer.
- Bake until the potatoes in the center of the baking dish are knife tender, 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the casserole. Turn the oven on to broil and broil until the cheese on top is melted and browned in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes for the sauce to thicken before serving.

HAM AND POTATO CASSEROLE
My wife had a craving for ham and potatoes and we had several items we wanted to use up. We didn't cook the celery with the onion and green pepper to add some additional crunch, but they could be cooked together. We used reduced-fat ingredients throughout and had great success. We found that there were no spices needed as the vegetables were a great flavor combination! This recipe ended up being a winner with everyone in the family!

HAM AND POTATO CASSEROLE
I had the best Home Ec teacher in Jr & Sr High School, Mrs. Carol Renfro. This woman really knew how to cook and how to teach others how to cook as well. This was one of our first recipes we had to make once we started cooking. I still have my original recipe card (did I really used to write like that?!) and we have this often. I hope you will enjoy this as much as we do! Prep time does not include times to cook ham or potatoes.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Use fresh, tender potatoes, flavorful cheese, and a smoky, well-seasoned ham.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform 1/4-inch slices so they cook evenly.
- Parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes, then drain and cool them. This will help them hold their shape and not fall apart in the casserole.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If the ingredients are too tightly packed, they won't cook evenly.
- Bake the casserole until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the casserole hot with your favorite sides. Suggestions include a green salad, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.
