- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 6 oz (180 g) cooked ham thinly sliced

Preparation
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.
