    I made it today in a 9×13 and it was okay. I followed the recipe pretty closely. Maybe I needed more salt, maybe more cheese, it was just kinda meh. I used Dubliner, that sharp Irish cheddar, a good 9 or 10 ounces. Seemed like the dish was heavy on the bechamel and light on the cheese.

    Also, why not just make the bechamel into a cheese sauce? Instead of separate ingredients?

    Chef John, the ham and potato casserole was delicious. Everyone loved it. However, after following the recipe exactly the sauce was watery/soupy. I can’t figure out what I did wrong. Please tell me.

    I’ve never seen such a casserole made with big slices of ham. Always diced, so there are bits of ham in each bite and far less cutting required when eating. But the flavors look spot on.

    This was excellent! Thank you, Chef John! I made the whole recipe as is and wow, it makes a lot of yummy. We were four and polished half the casserole off. So leftovers! Yay! Next time the only thing I'll change is I will halve the recipe. The white sauce was very scrumptious and a nice (silky) change from regular scalloped potatoes! I would leave a review over at AR, but it's not working. Maybe why so few reviews? It's not just your recipe. I tried to initiate the review mechanism under another random recipe and couldn't do it, there, either. Cheers!

    I just made this to take to my parent for Easter tomorrow (even though they are already making a ham). The only thing I did different was I used some thick cut ham from the deli (I probably should have gone with something a touch thicker) and added about 4 ounces of extra cheese… and …

    Wow was it good! The flavors balance and compliment one another. The touch of almost sweetness from the onion and nutmeg. The savoryness of the cream and butter and the touch of smoke from the ham – wow! Mine turned out just a touch greasy (probably from the extra cheese) but I made in the day before so I'm thinking the potato will soak it up nicely overnight!

    Thank you Chef John. Have spent a good portion of this morning looking for something easy, kind of light and tasty. Just don't feel like doing a big dinner. This will be Easter dinner with a salad and carrot cake for dessert…and done. Happy Easter to you Chef and your family.
