Made this last night for the fam and we scraped the casserole got emptied out!

– For a little kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to the cheese sauce.
– If there are any vegetarians in the family, you can skip the ham and add a layer of sautéed mushrooms and spinach for a veggie-friendly version.
– Got leftovers? No problem! This dish reheats like a dream, so it’s just as good the next day – if it lasts that long!
– Feel free to use a mix of cheeses for different flavor profiles. Sometimes I like to toss in a bit of Gruyere or Monterey Jack to spice things up.
– And remember, the thinner you slice the potatoes, the better they’ll cook! If you’ve got a mandoline slicer, now’s a great time to put it to use. Just watch those fingers!

There you have it, my heartwarming take on Ham and Potato Au Gratin. I hope making this dish fills your kitchen with warmth and your dinner with laughter. Enjoy, y’all!
