Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish and set aside.
Cook the sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until tender, about four minutes. Add the rosemary and parsley and cook for another minute.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and gradually stir in the flour. Add the milk and continue stirring until thick and creamy, about three or four minutes. Stir in the ham and cheese until the cheese is melted.
Arrange half the prepared sweet potatoes on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with half the ham and cheese mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with the ham and cheese. Bake for 25 minutes and serve immediately.
