Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 medium potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped ham
  • 1/3 cup yellow onion (finely diced)
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

Instruction

  • Wash, peel and slice the potatoes. Slice the potatoes somewhere in between 1/8 and 1/4 of an inch thick.
  • Add the chicken broth, onion and garlic powder, into the Instant Pot.
  • Place the sliced potatoes and cut ham into a steamer basket and place in the Instant Pot.
  • Cook on Manual HIGH for 0 minutes. Quick release the pressure.
  • Remove the potatoes and ham, set aside.
  • Turn the Instant Pot onto Saute Normal (or the middle setting).
  • In a small bowl, combine the butter and flour to create a paste.Add the paste to the chicken broth in the Instant Pot. Stir until the broth has thickened.
  • Add the milk to the Instant Pot, whisking to combine. Whisk occasionally until the sauce has thickened. This should take about 5- 10 minutes. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Pour 1/3 of the sauce into the bottom of your baking dish. Pour 1/2 of your cooked potatoes and ham on top of the sauce. Repeat again with 1/3 of the sauce, the remaining potatoes and ham topping the last layer of potatoes and ham with the remaining sauce.
  • Sprinkle the cheese on top, if desired. Broil on the middle rack until the sauce is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
  • Best if the potatoes cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with parsley, if desired.
