Ham and Potato Gratin

Sharing is caring!

Ham and Potato Gratin is a cheesy dish that is served up from your crockpot. As a kid, I grew up eating scalloped potatoes and ham. This is a similar dish, but the cheese gives it just a bit more flavor!

To begin, dice a small onion.

Wash and trim 3 pounds of red or golden potatoes. You can peel them if you like, but I just trim off any eyes or rough patches and leave the peels on. Thinly slice them up.

Lightly spray your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray, then layer in 1/3 of your potatoes and 1/3 of the diced onion. You will be using 1 1/4 cup of diced or julienned cooked ham in this recipe. Layer in 1/3 of it now as well. Repeat these layers – potato, onion & ham, until you have three layers of each.
