How to Make Another Leftover Ham Casserole

  2. Peel and thinly slice 2 lbs potatoes. Layer half of the potatoes in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  3. Top the potatoes with 2 cups of diced leftover ham.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour evenly over the ham.
  5. Repeat layers: potatoes, ham, flour.
  6. Top with remaining potatoes and sprinkle with another 1/4 cup flour.
  7. Dot the top with 4 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
  8. Pour 2 cups of milk evenly over the casserole.
  9. Season generously with black pepper to taste.
  10. Bake for 75 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  11. In the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle 1 cup crushed potato chips or bread crumbs over the top for added crunch.
  12. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
