Cool the boiled potatoes in a strainer bowl for a few minutes.

Peel the potatoes, leaving some skin on if desired, and dice them into pieces.

Add butter to the diced potatoes, adjusting the amount based on preference.

Add sour cream, diced green onions, diced ham, and cheddar cheese to the potatoes and mix together.

Taste the mixture and adjust salt and black pepper to taste.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with additional cheddar cheese.

Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 7-8 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Plate the casserole and serve.
