HOLIDAY HAM AND POTATO CASSEROLE



Holiday Ham and Potato Casserole image

I'm showing you how to serve an amazing holiday meal to a crowd using only 1 pound of ham, which is one way to go if the budget is a little tight. Or, if you do end up serving a whole ham, this recipe is perfect for the leftovers.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Potato Casseroles

Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup unsalted butter
1 cup diced yellow onion
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 4 portions
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
4 ½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
8 ounces grated sharp white Cheddar cheese
1 pound thinly sliced ham

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté with a pinch of salt until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, just to take off that starchy, raw edge, about 2 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and whisk to combine. Whisk in milk. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until it just starts to simmer and thicken up. Add 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cayenne. Grate in nutmeg.
  • Turn off heat. Stir in Worcestershire and fresh thyme leaves. Reserve until needed.
  • Cover the bottom of a deep 10x15-inch casserole dish with about 25% of the reserved sauce. Add a layer of sliced potatoes, seasoning the tops with some of the remaining salt as desired; ladle over 1/3 of the sauce and sprinkle over 1/3 of the grated Cheddar cheese. Layer in ½ of the sliced ham.
  • Place another layer of sliced potatoes on top and season with salt. Ladle over ½ of the remaining sauce; repeat layering with Cheddar cheese and ham.
  • Place last layer of potatoes on top. Ladle over remaining sauce and spread out with a spatula. Sprinkle over remaining Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until browned, bubbling, and potatoes are very tender, about 1 ½ hours. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the omelet from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat: If the skillet is too hot, the omelet will cook too quickly and burn. If the skillet is too cool, the omelet will take too long to cook and will be dry.
  • Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet as it cooks: This will help ensure that the omelet cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the omelet: An overcooked omelet will be tough and dry. Cook the omelet until it is just set, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the omelet immediately: An omelet is best served hot out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

A hearty ham and potato omelet is a delicious and satisfying breakfast, brunch, or lunch. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect omelet every time.
