Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked ham diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Cooking spray
  • Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Wash and peel the potatoes if needed. Slice them into thin, even rounds. Dice the cooked ham. Slice the onion and grate the cheese if using a fresh block.

Make the Cream Sauce

  • Whisk together the milk, heavy cream, melted butter, flour, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme and paprika. Mix until smooth. The sauce should have no lumps before adding it.

Prepare the Crockpot

  • Spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray. This keeps the potatoes from sticking. It also makes cleaning much easier after cooking.

Add the First Layer

  • Place one layer of sliced potatoes into the crockpot. Add some onion, diced ham, shredded cheese, and a little cream sauce over the potatoes.

Repeat the Layers

  • Keep making layers until all ingredients are used. Finish with the remaining cheese on top. Pour any leftover cream sauce evenly over everything.

Cook Slowly

  • Cover the crockpot with the lid. Cook on LOW for about six hours. The potatoes should become soft, tender and full of creamy flavor.

Check for Doneness

  • Insert a fork into the potatoes. It should slide in easily. If needed, cook for another thirty minutes until completely tender.

Rest and Serve

  • Let the dish rest for ten minutes before serving. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top. Serve warm and enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite.

Notes

  • Slice potatoes evenly.
  • Use freshly grated cheese.
  • Choose Yukon Gold potatoes.
  • Do not skip the resting time.
  • Cook on LOW for better texture.
  • Use leftover holiday ham.
  • Add fresh herbs before serving.
  • Taste the sauce before cooking.
