Ingredients (5 Simple Staples)

- 2 cups cooked ham (diced)
- 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by peeling the potatoes and slicing them thinly—about 3–4 mm thick. Thin slices are key because they cook evenly and absorb the creamy sauce better.
Dice your ham into bite-sized cubes and slice the onion into thin rings or half-moons.
