Instructions

Using a mandolin or sharp knife, peel and slice the potatoes to 1/8 inch thick. Hold in a bowl of cold water but pat dry when ready to use.
In a medium pot over medium heat, melt butter and add onions, parsley and thyme. Sauté for about three minutes or until onions are starting to become translucent. Lower heat to medium, add flour and stir. Cook for about three more minutes or until raw flour smell is gone.
Add cream, salt, pepper, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg, mustard powder and 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir over medium heat until cheese melts into sauce then remove from heat.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a two to three quart pan or casserole dish spray with pan spray. (Our casserole dish was an oval 12x9x3-inches.)
Start by ladling a small amount of sauce into the bottom of the pan. Shingle one quarter of the potatoes over the sauce, covering the bottom. Cover that with one third of the ham. Next cover with one third of the remaining sauce and another quarter of potatoes and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers by next adding another third of ham, another third of the sauce, another quarter of the potato, the final third of ham, the final half of the mozzarella, the final quarter of potatoes and the last of the sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheddar.**
Bake uncovered for one hour and 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork or skewer. Let the casserole sit for 30 minutes to set up.
Spoon into portions and serve.***

Notes

*Russet are low moisture, high starch potatoes and should not be substituted.

**We found it easier to divide the ingredients into piles before layering so we could get even amounts. For example, we divided the ham into three piles, the potatoes into four and so on.

***There will be some liquid after baking and resting. This gets absorbed into the casserole as it cools so no need to remove.
