Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spray an 8-inch or 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place potatoes in the prepared dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix together cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and condensed soup until completely combined. I use a handheld electric mixer to make sure that the cheese sauce is smooth.
- Pour cheese sauce over potatoes and toss to combine.
- Cover dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes (or just until potatoes are fork-tender).
- While the potatoes are in the oven, prepare the crumb topping by combining cracker crumbs with melted butter.
- Remove potatoes from oven. Stir in ham. Sprinkle buttered cracker crumbs over top.
- Return dish to oven for 5-7 more minutes, or until topping is golden brown. Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving.
Notes
- You can prep this casserole ahead of time! Simply combine all the ingredients, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and store in the fridge for the next day.
- Cheesy ham and potato casserole is freezer-friendly, too! Store frozen in an airtight container for up to three months and thaw completely before baking.
- This recipe is a great way to use leftover ham from a holiday dinner for a next-day brunch or dinner. You can use pineapple-glazed ham, brown sugar-glazed ham, or Crock Pot cola-glazed ham.
- Instead of cubed potatoes, you can also use hash browns in this potato casserole! Use a bag of thawed frozen hash browns to cut the prep time to practically nothing.
- I used an enamelware pan, which tends to cook faster than other types of dishes. If you're using a glass, ceramic or heavier nonstick metal pan, you will need to increase the baking time for your potatoes. They may require up to 45-55 minutes to become tender, so just check on them periodically and pull them out when your dish is ready.
- Leftover cheesy ham and potato casserole can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave or the oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
- Serving for brunch? Serve with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and biscuits for a savory brunch.
- Cooking for two? Cut the ingredients in half and bake in a smaller dish. The rest of the instructions remain the same.
