Ingredients
  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 lb cooked turkey ham, diced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

  6. Cover and bake for 1 hour.

  8. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
