A delightful twist on the classic scalloped potatoes and ham, this recipe combines creamy textures with savory flavors for a comforting dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the dish inside for even cooking.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the flour, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth.
Whisk continuously to avoid lumps in the roux.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly. Cook until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly.
Use warm milk to help the sauce thicken more quickly.
Stir in the ham, onion, green pepper, and cheddar cheese until well combined.
Ensure the cheese is fully melted for a smooth sauce.
Layer the sliced potatoes in a buttered baking dish. Pour the sauce evenly over the potatoes.
Arrange the potatoes in overlapping layers for even cooking.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 1 hour.
Removing the foil allows the top to brown and become crispy.
Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the sauce to set, making it easier to serve.
