This Cheesy Potatoes with Ham Casserole is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor—perfect for family dinners or potlucks. A comforting dish that brings everyone to the table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly (about 1/8-inch thick)
  • 2 cups diced cooked ham
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Place them in a mixing bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, melted butter, and chopped onion.
  4. Arrange a layer of potatoes on the bottom of the casserole dish. Sprinkle some diced ham and shredded cheese over the potatoes. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
  5. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and ham.
  6. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Insert a knife into the center of the casserole to check doneness. If the potatoes are tender, it’s ready. If not, bake for an additional 10 minutes, checking periodically.
  8. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

[‘Thin, uniform slices of potatoes ensure even cooking.’, ‘Use freshly grated cheese for smoother melting.’, ‘Allow the casserole to rest after baking for easier serving.’, ‘Cover the dish with foil during the first part of baking to retain moisture.’, ‘Customize the flavors with spices like paprika or thyme.’]
