Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes with Ham

Ingredients

• 4 cups peeled and sliced potatoes
• 2 cups diced ham
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 pound Cheddar cheese, diced
• 1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Layer half the potatoes, half the ham, and half the onion in an 2-quart baking dish; repeat the layers.

Heat milk, peas, flour, butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, 7 to 10 minutes.

Stir Cheddar cheese into sauce until cheese is melted.

Pour sauce over potato and ham mixture; sprinkle with paprika.

Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.

Remove foil and continue baking until lightly browned, about 15 minutes more.
