- 16 ounces ham
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

- The last layer should be potatoes covered with the last amount of sour cream mixture and more cheese.
- Bake at 350F until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes.

Notes
- Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended for better absorption and texture.
- Feel free to swap cheddar for Gruyère or another melting cheese for variety.
- Leftover holiday ham works great; just dice it up!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing is possible but may alter the texture; reheat in the oven to revive.
