- Use a good quality ham: The ham is the star of the show in this dish, so it's important to use one that has a good flavor. Look for a ham that is smoked or cured, and that has a nice pink color.
- Slice the ham thinly: This will help the ham to cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Use a variety of potatoes: You can use any type of potato you like in this dish, but a good combination is to use a mix of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes. This will give you a creamy and fluffy texture.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help the potatoes to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Layer the ingredients in a casserole dish: Start by layering the ham on the bottom of the dish, then add the potatoes, onion, and garlic. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients have been used.
- Add a creamy sauce: The creamy sauce is what really makes this dish special. You can use a simple béchamel sauce, or you can add some additional flavor by using a cheese sauce or a cream of mushroom soup.
- Bake the dish until the potatoes are tender: This will usually take about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the oven.
