Notes
This casserole was tested using russet potatoes and they hold up very well. In addition, Yukon Gold and red potatoes also have a profile for being sturdy potatoes.
Boiling the the potatoes ensures they are tender and can be baked evenly in the oven.
Spray the casserole dish with cooking spray so the casserole doesn’t stick to the bottom and can be easily removed when serving.
Use pre-diced ham or leftover ham. You can get pre-diced ham in the meat section of any local grocery store. This casserole is also a great way to use up any leftover ham you might have from Easter or Christmas dinners.
