Preparation

Step 1

Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 400°.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add potatoes. Cook until tender but still firm, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and combine with the ham and parsley in a large heat resistant bowl. Set aside.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add flour and stir until well blended. Slowly add milk and whisk together. Bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and continue to simmer and stir sauce until it is the consistency of a thick cream soup, about 2 minutes. Pour over ham mixture; toss to coat.

Pour into greased 9”x13” baking dish, cover with foill and bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle top with cheeses, turn on broiler and broil until cheese is browned, about 5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
