Equipment

  • oven
  • skillet
  • Baking Dish
  • Whisk
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup white or yellow onions, diced small
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk 2% or whole recommended
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 3 pounds russet potatoes, thinly sliced to ⅛th-inch
  • 2 cups cooked ham, cubed or diced small
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely minced optional for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F, and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside.
  • To a large skillet, add the butter and heat over medium-high heat to melt it, about 1 minute; stir with a wooden spoon to help it melt faster.
  • Add the onions and saute for 4-5 minutes, or until soft and translucent; stir frequently.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute; stir nearly constantly.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the top, stir and toss with a wooden spoon, and cook for 1 minute; stir nearly constantly.
  • Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly as you add it.
  • Add the salt, pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens some.
  • Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese until smooth and silky.
  • Place half of the potatoes in the bottom of your pan. Top with half of the ham. Pour half of the sauce over the top, then sprinkle 1 cup of cheese on top. Repeat the process with the potatoes, ham, sauce, and cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes, covered. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, uncovered, or until done.
  • Optionally garnish with freshly parsley and serve.

Notes

Let leftovers cool before storing in an airtight container. Ham scalloped potatoes will last up to 4-5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or as needed.
