I can never resist potatoes when they’re made like this!

This Hearty Ham and Potato Casserole is a staple in my kitchen, especially during those chilly Midwest evenings when all you want is something warm and comforting. The origins of this dish are rooted in the classic combination of ham and potatoes, a duo that has been loved for generations. It’s perfect for a cozy family dinner or when you have leftover ham from a holiday meal. The creamy layers of scalloped potatoes and savory ham make it a dish that everyone will love, and it’s so easy to prepare in a slow cooker, making it ideal for busy weekdays.

This casserole pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables to balance out the richness of the dish. A side of crusty bread or dinner rolls is perfect for soaking up the creamy sauce. For a touch of sweetness, consider serving it with a side of applesauce or a fruit salad.
