Ham and Potatoes au Gratin

Cultural Context

Originating from the French countryside, Ham and Potatoes au Gratin is a comforting dish that showcases the use of simple ingredients like potatoes and ham, often enjoyed in family gatherings. Traditionally, the dish is baked until golden and bubbling, creating a rich, creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the savory flavors of ham. Today, variations can be found worldwide, with different cheeses and additional vegetables being added to suit local tastes.

Cut the ham steak into little cubes, removing the bone and fat.

2

Shred the Swiss cheese using a food processor or chop it by hand.

7

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper.

Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to the mushrooms and stir for 3-4 minutes to cook out the flour taste.

Pour in 1.5 cups of chicken stock and stir until combined.

10

Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream and stir until the sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes.

11

Season the sauce with an additional 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.

Layer the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
