How to Make Ham And Potatoes Au Gratin For 140 Folks

  1. Boil 20 lbs potatoes until tender. Allow to cool completely, then dice into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Grease eight (8) 13x9 inch casserole dishes. Divide the diced potatoes evenly among the dishes (approximately 6 cups per dish).
  3. Divide 21 lbs of cooked ham, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, evenly among the eight dishes (approximately 3.5 lbs per dish).
  4. In a large (at least 12-quart) pot, whisk together 2 gallons whole milk, 4 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of potato soup, and 2 cups all-purpose flour until completely smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 10 lbs shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons black pepper, and 1 tablespoon paprika until melted and smooth.
  6. Evenly pour approximately 2 1/4 cups of the cheese sauce over the ham and potatoes in each of the eight casserole dishes.
  7. Cover the casserole dishes and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 minutes. Remove the covers and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
