Instructions
1
Prep
Heat oven to 375°F and butter a small dish. Slice potatoes thin, dice the cooked ham, mince garlic, and chop onion.
2
Melt butter over medium heat 1 minute, sweat onion and garlic 2 minutes, then stir in flour and cook 1 minute until pale.
3
Whisk milk in gradually over medium heat and simmer 3 to 4 minutes until sauce coats a spoon, seasoning with pepper and salt.
4
Layer half the potatoes, ham, sauce, and grated cheddar, then repeat. Press potatoes down so sauce covers them. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 40 minutes, then uncover and bake 20 minutes more until golden and knife-tender.
5
Plate
Rest 10 minutes so the sauce sets, then cut and serve hot with the cheesy top up.
