I recently bought some uncured ham and have been wanting to find some way to use it that was different. I thought about simply heating it up and fixing some homemade au gratin potatoes with it, but ultimately decided to cut up the ham into cubes and add it to the potatoes to create a casserole!
It ended up being so tasty that I went back to eat a small helping of seconds….and so did my husband. The potatoes are so much better than the boxed type from the store!
Ingredients
- 2 cups of potatoes, diced and cooked
- 1½ cups uncured ham, diced
- 2 tsp minced onion
- ⅓ cup butter
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 1 cup milk, raw preferred
- 1½ cups raw cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¾ tsp unrefined sea salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine cooked potatoes, cubed ham and minced onion in a 1 to 1½ quart casserole dish.
- In a saucepan melt the butter on medium heat.
- Add the arrowroot powder and mix until completely combined.
- Add the milk, stirring until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Add the cheese, salt and pepper and mix until the cheese melts.
- Pour cheese mixture over the potato mixture.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Sauce should be bubbly.
Notes
I actually like to keep some pre-boiled potatoes on hand each week. Then all you have to do is cut them up, and you can eat much more quickly!
