Maple Bacon Cheddar, Tender Ham, Sweet-Salty Comfort

Layers of holiday ham and potatoes baked in a maple-cheddar cream sauce, built around Yancey's Fancy Maple Bacon Cheddar for a sweet-salty melt that turns leftover or fresh ham into its own dish.

Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 60 min
Total Time: 1 1/2 hours
Serves: 10

What You Will Need

  • 2 cups cooked ham, diced
  • 2 1/2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 10 oz Yancey's Fancy Maple Bacon Cheddar, shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

What To Do

  1. Soften the onion: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the sliced onion until soft and lightly golden.
  2. Warm the cream: In a saucepan, warm the heavy cream, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
  3. Layer the bake: In a 9x13-inch baking dish, layer a third of the potatoes, a third of the ham, a third of the onion, and a third of the Maple Bacon Cheddar. Repeat twice more, finishing with a layer of cheese.
  4. Pour and cover: Pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the layers. Cover tightly with foil.
  5. Bake covered: Bake until the potatoes are nearly tender.
  6. Uncover and brown: Remove the foil and continue baking until golden and bubbling at the edges.
  7. Rest before serving: Let rest so the sauce sets slightly before serving.

Pro Tips:

A great way to stretch a holiday ham across a second meal. The maple in the cheddar plays off the ham the way a glaze would, without any extra steps.
