How to Make Swiss Ham Potato Scallop
- If you don't have leftover cooked red potatoes, boil 2 lbs of red potatoes until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Cool the potatoes completely, then cube them into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Shred 2 cups of Swiss cheese and cube 1 1/2 cups cooked ham.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Generously butter a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
- In a medium saucepan, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion in 2 tablespoons butter until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese until melted and smooth.
- Gently fold in the cubed ham and potatoes.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- **Prepare the topping:** In a bowl, combine 1 cup bread crumbs and 1/4 cup melted butter.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the casserole.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
