Ingredients
4-5 large Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
2 cups diced Ham
1 Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 cups Milk
1 cup Heavy cream
1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Flour
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Optional: herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, chop the onion and garlic, and dice the ham.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then stir in flour to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in milk and cream until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs.
Layer half of the potatoes in the baking dish, followed by ham, onion, garlic, and cheese. Repeat with another layer of potatoes and toppings.
Pour the creamy sauce over the layers, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
