Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Peel 1 1/2-2 pounds russet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 1/2-inch. Place the potatoes and 4 cups cubed ham into the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup salted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 3 teaspoons minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute while whisking constantly.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 2 cups half and half. Stir in 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3–5 minutes, until thickened.
- Gradually stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese until it is fully melted into the sauce. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the potatoes and ham, ensuring everything is well coated.
- In a small bowl, prepare the topping by stirring together 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons salted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole to cover.
- Bake, uncovered, for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the topping is golden brown.
Notes
- They sell cubed ham in packages at the grocery store in the meat section, but this is also a great use for leftover ham.

- Instead of using Russet potatoes, grab a 32-ounce bag of frozen diced potatoes instead. No need to thaw.
