Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.

Place half of the sliced potatoes in a single layer at the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole pan. Sprinkle the potatoes with 2 cups of cubed ham and 1 cup each of peas and onion. Place the remaining half of the potatoes in a layer over the ham and peas. Set aside.
Step 3
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté in the butter for about 1 minute until fragrant. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour to form a thick paste, and cook for 1 minute.
Step 4
Whisk in 1 cup of milk and ½ cup of chicken broth. Keep whisking until the sauce is smooth with no lumps. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens to the desired consistency.
Step 5
Stir in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 1 cup of Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Pour the creamy sauce over the potatoes in the casserole pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 7
Cover the casserole pan with foil and bake in the oven for 50 minutes.
