These Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes and Ham are an easy holiday dinner idea that's also a great recipe for leftover ham! The whole family is going to love this one!
Layer potatoes and ham in a lightly greased 9x13" baking dish and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper -- cook and stir 1 minute.
Whisk in flour until smooth, then gradually whisk in the milk and cream.
Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of cheese.
Pour sauce over potatoes and ham. Cover with foil and bake for 60-65 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Uncover, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese, and bake 10 minutes or until thickened, bubbly, and cheese is lightly browned.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
*To make ahead, you can cover and refrigerate once completely assembled up to 8 hours. If you refrigerate longer your potatoes may release too much liquid or begin to turn brown.
