Gather Ingredients from the list below
Directions
1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat the inside of a 9” x 9” square cake pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
2.
Slice the russet potatoes into 1/8" thick rounds using a mandolin or knife, then place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
3.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, whisk in the flour until smooth, then gradually add the milk while whisking continuously. Cook and stir for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
4.
In a separate saucepan over medium heat, cook the diced white onion in the remaining tablespoon of butter for 3 minutes, or until tender. Add the spinach and cook for 1 minute, or until wilted, then set aside.
5.
Drain the sliced potatoes and arrange a single layer of overlapping slices to cover the bottom of the prepared pan.
6.
Pour 1/2 cup of the milk mixture over the potatoes, then layer with 1/2 cup of cheese, 4 slices of ham, and 1/2 cup of the spinach and onion mixture.
7.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients.
8.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
9.
Remove the foil, top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
10.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
