Notes

  • Use a mandolin slicer to slice your potatoes. It will make the prep time so much faster than having to slice thin slices
  • This recipe is great to make after a ham eatin' holiday like Easter, Christmas, or New Years Day
  • Be sure when adding the flour, milk and cream to keep a constant stir so you don't burn the sauce and to make it creamy and not lumpy.
  • Don't have ham or don't want any meat? Then totally skip adding the ham. You won't need as quite as big casserole dish, but this still tastes amazing without the meat.
  • Want to add more to this recipe? Some chopped onions or even mushrooms go great with this recipe. I would throw either/or in a pan with a little butter and cook them for about 5 minutes and then add them when you add the ham.
  • If you want to do all the prep work in advance and then cover and refrigerate until you are needing it, that works too. I advise cooking it 6-8 hours after putting together. And set out of the refrigerator a little bit so the pan isn't so cold when you put it in the hot oven.
