Ingredients
- 6 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded Cabot cheddar cheese, and more for sprinkling
- 2 cups diced ham (optional, you can use turkey ham too)
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups broth (vegetable or chicken)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- A pinch of smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a greased 2 ½ quarts baking dish, layer the potato slices, then onions, ham (if using), and cheese. Repeat until you use all the slices of potatoes.
- In a small saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour into the melted butter and stir until smooth.
- Gradually add in the broth, garlic, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Simmer over medium heat, stirring for two minutes or until thick and bubbly.
- Pour mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika and more cheese. You can also sprinkle on more ham at this point.
- Cover with foil and bake for about 2 hours or until potatoes are tender and bubbling. Remove foil cover for the last 20 minutes to brown the surface, if desired. You can also broil for 2 minutes.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
