Cheesy Ham &amp; Potato Casserole

(about 915 grams) potatoes (I recommend Russet or Yukon Gold)

Tablespoons (43 grams) unsalted butter

(100 grams) chopped yellow onion (1/2 of a large onion)

garlic cloves,

salt

teaspoon fresh ground pepper

smoked paprika

mustard

dried parsley (or 2 teaspoons fresh chopped parsley)

Tablespoons (24 grams) all-purpose flour

(480 milliliters) whole milk

optional,

Peel potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces (just eyeball it). You&#8217;ll have just over 6 cups chopped potatoes. Cover with water in a medium pot. Bring to boil. Once boiling, boil for just 5–6 minutes. You don&#8217;t want the potatoes super soft and tender just yet, only slightly softened. Drain. 

Grease a 9×13-inch or any 3–4-quart oven-safe dish. Add warm drained potatoes, ham, and 1 cup (about 100g) of shredded cheese. Gently toss together. Set aside.

Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions have softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, smoked paprika, ground mustard, parsley, and flour until combined and flour has absorbed any liquid. Reduce heat to low, and then slowly stir in the milk. Simmer for 3–5 minutes or until thickened into a gravy consistency. Remove from heat. Taste and, if desired, add more salt, pepper, paprika, mustard, or parsley to taste.

Pour warm sauce over ham and potatoes. Toss gently to coat.

Bake, covered with aluminum foil, for 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil, sprinkle remaining cheese on top, and return to the oven for 5–10 more minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, green onion, chives, or a drizzle of hot sauce.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat as desired. To reheat the entire casserole, cover with aluminum foil and reheat in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 20 minutes.

This is a very tasty casserole. My husband &amp; I both enjoyed it. Only thing I changed was adding more cheese to the top. Sally's recipes are always so reliably good!

Thanks for your cheesy ham and potato casserole. Perfect and delicious dish. Easy and quick to prepare on busy days before the holidays.

Made this recipe to use up more of the free ham I got from Omaha steaks. I followed the recipe exactly except for not having any parsley. It came out great. The sauce by itself was cheesy with just a hint of spiciness. The russet potatoes were perfectly cooked and the ham added more texture and taste. Next time, I'll cut the potatoes into slightly smaller chunks.

Thanks again for a great recipe and clear instructions.

This was a huge hit for dinner tonight. The ham we had for thanksgiving was salty and the thought of leftovers was not a pleasant one. Knowing that potatoes are way to go with salty fixes, I googled ham and potatoes and stumbled across your recipe. I eliminated the salt called for, halved the recipe as there are only three of us, and served it with salad. It was perfect! Great flavor, the potatoes did the trick of getting rid of the extra salt and there were no leftovers! Everyone was pleased, including the sometimes critical son. Thank you for a great recipe!

This recipe was delicious.  I halved it for the two of us and we both enjoyed the casserole.

This was delicious!  My husband really enjoyed this casserole - I was trying to use a ham up!!

Made this tonight using a couple of frozen cooked boneless pork chops and frozen large cubed hashbrowns (both of which I thawed for a couple of minutes in the microwave).  I also added some frozen corn. I halved the recipe but I think i'd make a bit more sauce next time.  A good hearty dinner :)

A new go-to recipe for me!
I made this for Christmas Eve to accompany the ham I was serving, so I left the ham out of my recipe and replaced it with an additional pound of potatoes. I used shredded Swiss, rather than cheddar. There was plenty of sauce.  It was delicious and well received by my guests.

This recipe was incredible. I made it on Christmas day since I had family visiting and everyone asked for the recipe afterwards. My spouse has Celiac's and I discovered I'd run out of GF flour so I improvised with a cornstarch slurry. I'm already thinking about doing it again and it's only been 2 days!

Excellent recipe for comfort food! I followed the recipe as written (except I used Swiss not cheddar because it was what i had). It was delicious served with buttered peas on the side.

This was excellent! I used sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheeses and then topped with crumbled fried onion pieces. Served asparagus spears as a side.

We both had seconds. Economical and delicious.

I added worstershire sauce and Dijon mustard fir some tang! I did a mix of white and sweet potatoes since that what was on hand! Delicious!

This was so delicious! I used almond milk, but otherwise followed the recipe. I think this will become a staple in our house and I’m so excited for all the leftovers. Thank you!

Solid cold weather casserole. Thank you for sharing

Delicious! We had leftover ham and this was the PERFECT way to use it up. Even both picky kids ate it. I served peas on the side--I probably would have added them to the potatoes before baking but the younger kiddo hates peas. Instead those who wanted some mixed them in after baking and they were great. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!

Great recipe to use leftover ham. Very tasty

Ham and Potato Casserole | Sally's Baking Recipes

Creamy potato casserole loaded with ham and cheese. Perfect comfort food for using up leftover ham!

Cheesy Ham Potato Casserole

½ medium yellow onion, diced

cream of chicken soup

cheddar cheese soup

ham,

sour cream

sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Salt and black pepper

Prep the oven and dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Prepare the potatoes

Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform ¾-inch pieces. This ensures even cooking. Rinse the diced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then drain well.

Mix the casserole base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, onion, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese soup, diced ham, and sour cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine thoroughly

Stir everything together until the potatoes and ham are evenly coated with the creamy soup mixture. Make sure all ingredients are well distributed.

Transfer to baking dish

Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. The liquid should just cover the potatoes - if it seems dry, add a splash of milk.

Top with cheese and bake

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes.

Finish uncovered

Remove the foil and continue baking for 10-20 minutes more until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Rest and serve

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Serve hot in generous portions.
