Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ medium onion chopped
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ pound ham diced
- 6 cups diced cooked potatoes
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish; set it aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, salt, dry mustard, and pepper until the onions are well coated. Let the mixture cook for 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw taste from the flour.
- Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking over medium heat until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheese and stir until it melts completely and the sauce is smooth.1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
- Add the diced ham, cooked potatoes, and chopped parsley. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to break up the potatoes too much.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the top.1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.

Notes
- This recipe is great for using up leftover baked potatoes, but if you don’t have them you can just quickly microwave a few (usually about 6) small baking potatoes and cube them.
- If you don’t have leftover ham, you can pick up an 8 ounce package of diced ham available in most grocery stores.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave.
