  • Prep. Time 20 mins
  • Cooking Time 1 hr - 1 hr, 10 mins
  • Yields 6 servings

Preparation

What You Need

2 lb (1 Kg) (about 6 cups/1.5 L) baking potatoes, thinly sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
6 oz (180 g) thinly sliced cooked ham
1 1/4 cups (310 ml) chicken broth
2 tbsp (30 ml) all-purpose flour
2 cups (500 ml) shredded Canadian Havarti cheese

Instructions

Layer half the potato slices and half the onion in a 8-cup (2 L) shallow rectangular baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Arrange ham slices evenly over potatoes. Top with a second layer of potatoes and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Smoothly combine chicken broth and flour. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils and thickens. Pour over the potatoes and ham in baking dish. Sprinkle Canadian Havarti cheese evenly over surface.

Bake, uncovered, in 375 °F (190 °C) oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cheese is golden. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.


Tips

See what's in your fridge, because you could replace the Havarti with Cheddar. And virtually any prepared meat could substitute for ham.
