Tips:

Use Yukon gold or russet potatoes: These potatoes are best for baking and will give your casserole a creamy texture.
Don't overcook the potatoes: You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are easily pierced with a fork.
Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes: This will help you get even slices that will cook evenly.
Layer the potatoes, cheese, and ham evenly: This will ensure that every bite is packed with flavor.
Use a baking dish that is large enough to fit all of the ingredients: You don't want the casserole to be too crowded or the potatoes won't cook evenly.
Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are tender: This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help the cheese set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Harvest potato casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and ham, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
