Ingredients

2 lbs yellow potatoes
¼ cup butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 ½ cups half and half cream
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp fresh thyme; 1/2 tsp dried
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 cup chopped ham
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Instructions

Preheat an oven to 350°F. Begin by washing the potatoes then thinly slicing them to just over 1/8 of an inch thick.
Sautee the onions and butter over medium-high heat until the onions are translucent. Reduce heat to medium and add the cream, thyme, salt and pepper and mix.
Whisk in cornstarch and let simmer for 2 minutes to thicken. Stirring frequently.
Add the chopped ham and stir until evenly combined. Let the mixture thicken for an additional 2-3 minutes. You want the creamy filling to be thick enough to coat a spoon.
Add the potatoes and mix to evenly coat.
Grease a 9" casserole dish and add the potato and ham mixture. Top with the shredded gruyere and bake for 1.5 hours or until potatoes have softened. Serve hot.

Notes

Storage:

Leftover scalloped potatoes and ham should be kept covered or in an airtight container in the fridge. Individual servings reheat well in the microwave. To reheat the baking dish, cover it with foil and bake at 350F until heated through. I do not recommend freezing.

Variations:

Make this recipe without ham
Add Bacon or replace ham for bacon
Use other potatoes, russet, golden or sweet potatoes
Top with other cheese. Cheddar, Fontina, Colby Jack, Gouda
