Denell Syslo of Fullerton, Nebraska notes, “I love it that I can cook the entire meal—vegetable and all—in one dish. I was looking for a twist on traditional scalloped potatoes and ham, and played in the kitchen until this dish was created.“
SERVINGS: 8

METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 2-1/2 cups milk
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese, divided
- 2 pounds medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cups julienned fully cooked ham

Directions:
In a large skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in the flour, pepper and salt until blended. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in 1 cup of cheese. Reduce heat; cook for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted (sauce will be thick).
