How to
- Heat oven to 350 F.
- Set potatoes and ham aside. Butter a 2-quart casserole dish or a 9-inch square pan; set aside.
- In 2-quart saucepan melt butter over medium high heat. Add chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender and just beginning to brown.
- Stir in flour, Italian herb blend, dry ground mustard and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Whisk in whipping cream and milk. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until mixture thickens (2 to 3 minutes).
- Stir in half (4 ounces) the shredded cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Layer half the potatoes on bottom of prepared dish. Top with the cubed ham and sprinkle with half of remaining shredded cheese.
- Pour and spread half the cream mixture over potato layer. Repeat layering with remaining potatoes, cheese and cream mixture.
