2 pounds of russet potatoes, thoroughly scrubbed and thinly sliced
1 large sweet onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pound (2 cups) of cubed boneless ham steak (leftover ham works wonderfully too)
2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese (add more on top at the end, if desired)
1 can (12 ounces) of evaporated milk
1 cup of heavy cream or half and half
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika (optional)
Directions:
1. Begin by layering one-third of the potatoes, onions, ham, and cheese at the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Sprinkle a bit of salt, pepper, and paprika on top. Repeat this layering process twice more, using up all the potatoes, ham, onions, and cheese.
3. Pour the milk and cream into the slow cooker, without the need to mix or stir. Allow them to work their magic. If preferred, you can use half and half or regular milk instead of the cream.
4. Optionally, sprinkle some more salt, pepper, and paprika for added color. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to the low heat setting. Let it cook for 4 to 6 hours. It’s crucial to resist the temptation to use high heat, as this could cause the cheese to burn and impart an unpleasant taste to your dish. The key here is to maintain a low and slow cooking process.
5. Your dish is ready when the potatoes are fully cooked and tender. If desired, you can sprinkle an additional cup of cheese on top and allow it to melt before serving. Can one really have too much cheese?
This recipe can be enjoyed as a standalone meal or as a delectable side dish. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Alternatively, you can freeze it for up to three months. To reheat, simply thaw the dish on the counter, then transfer it back to the slow cooker along with a splash of milk or chicken stock. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook for a few hours. Sprinkle a bit more cheese on top, and you’ll have a delightful meal once again, courtesy of your freezer’s foresight, for a hassle-free dinner in the future.
