This was a delicious and easy casserole to make. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, and they turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this casserole several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover ham, and it's also a budget-friendly meal.
