Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes sliced 1/8 inch thick
  • 1 lb cooked ham cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk warmed
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided

Method
 

  1. Coat a 6-quart slow cooker insert with nonstick spray and layer one-third of the potatoes, ham and onion inside.
  2. Repeat the layers twice, keeping the potato slices flat rather than clumped.
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan, whisk in the flour for 1 minute and gradually whisk in the warm milk.
  4. Cook until the sauce coats a spoon, 4 minutes, then stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder and 1 cup cheddar.
  5. Pour the sauce evenly over the layers, cover and cook on low until a knife slides through the center potatoes, 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
  6. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar over the top, cover and cook on high until melted, 10 minutes.
  7. Turn off cooker; rest potatoes uncovered 15 minutes before scooping.
