Cheesy goodness, juicy ham, and a creamy bechamel sauce help to make this gratin tasty, but Klondike potatoes make it really special.

Cheesy Ham ‘n Potato Gratin is the perfect side dish for any special holiday. Tender potatoes, juicy ham, and creamy cheese get baked into layers in this casserole.

Klondike potatoes asked me to develop a recipe for their recipe contest. Even though contests make me a nervous Nelly, I was happy to do it, because I’m already a loyal fan of Klondike Potatoes.  I buy them at my local Meijer grocery store, and there is quite a selection there.

This gratin is made extra delicious by using red potatoes. Having thin skin and delicious unblemished flesh, the potatoes are perfect for this recipe.  Gruyere is my cheese of choice, but feel free to substitute Swiss, Brie or Havarti.  When it comes to recipes, I always use what I have on hand, but truthfully, Gruyere is one of my favorite cheeses!

Ingredients needed to make cheesy ham 'n potato gratin casserole

Klondike Brands® potatoes grow several exclusive potato varieties, including my personal favorite, purple. They also have varieties with beautiful thin skins and creamy yellow flesh.

Johnny’s Fine Foods Seasonings has many spice offerings, and I received a free sample from them to use in my cheesy ham ‘n potato gratin recipe.

    Heather, I grew up in an area where "Scalloped Potatoes & Ham" were THE entree during the winter. LOVE your adaptation! It looks hearty and creamy and entirely satisfying.

    I'm not a huge fan of ham. It is one of those things that I mainly eat at Easter time because that is what my family serves but any other time I can take it or leave it. But this recipe sounds absolutely fabulous. Ham with potatoes is a great combination and I love anything with cheese.

    Some of their unusual potatoes would really jazz up a tomato/zucchini/tomato tian that we love. But I must say, this recipe looks wonderful -- you had me at Gruyere...it's one of my favorites. I recently had a smoked Gruyere that was amazing!

    If I won I would love to try making a new breakfast casserole dish - like a lasagna but with layers of potatoes, ham, egg and cheese. I always love trying new things out & am a big fan of Klondike brand.
