Ingredients for cheesy ham and potato bake

Potatoes– I like to use red or gold potatoes. That’s what I normally buy so I used that in this recipe. You’ll want to make sure and slice them thin and all about the same size for even cooking.

Sharp cheddar cheese– You’ll want to make sure you shred your cheese.

Baked ham– I liked to buy a small baked ham for sandwiches and this ham is perfect for this recipe. Leftover ham from the holidays is also perfect!

Milk– I used 1% in this recipe.

Eggs– If you are a regular reader of my website, I bet you are surprised to see this! I rarely cook with eggs because I’m allergic, but after testing this recipe it holds together better when slicing.
