Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and sliced (Yukon gold or russet) Thinner slices cook more evenly.
  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced Use leftover ham for practicality.
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Use whole milk for richer sauce.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz) Use low-sodium to control salt.
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or extra shredded cheese for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Layer the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Scatter the diced ham and diced onion across the top.
Sauce Preparation
  1. Whisk the cream of chicken soup with milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  2. Pour the sauce evenly over the potato and ham layers.
Cooking
  1. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
  3. Check at 5.5 hours for doneness by pricking a potato slice.
  4. Stir gently, mix through the cheese, and adjust salt or pepper before serving.
  5. Optionally uncover for the last 10–15 minutes to let edges go golden.

Notes

For a little crust, uncover for 10-15 minutes at the end. If sauce is too thin, cook uncovered for 20-30 minutes to reduce and thicken. For variation, stir in a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
