Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch flameproof baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and saute until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir until combined. Cook 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, the cayenne and mustard powder. Whisk in the milk. Allow to cook and thicken slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Line the baking dish with a crisscrossed layer of country ham, then a layer of slightly overlapping potatoes, then about 2/3 cup sauce. Repeat the layering until all the ingredients are used. You should have a total of 3 sets of layers, ending with the sauce on top. Top with the Gruyere and cover with foil. Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and spoon off any fat that has pooled in the baking dish, if needed. Switch the oven to broil and broil until light golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Select a country ham that is fully cured and has a good amount of fat. This will ensure that the ham is flavorful and juicy.
- Soak the ham: Soaking the ham overnight in water will help to remove some of the saltiness and make it more tender.
- Cook the ham slowly: Country ham is best cooked slowly over low heat. This will help to keep the ham from drying out and becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Potatoes, onions, and carrots are all classic vegetables that go well with country ham. However, you can also use other vegetables, such as green beans, corn, or squash.
- Add some flavorings: Feel free to add some flavorings to your country ham and potatoes, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary. You can also add a splash of white wine or apple cider to the cooking liquid.
Conclusion:
Country ham and potatoes is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make sure that your country ham and potatoes turn out perfect every time.
