Steps:

• 1. Peel and slice the potatoes. Then set aside.
• 2. Shred the cheese and cube the ham.
• 3. Sauté the onion in a little butter; then set aside.
• 4. Make a roux in a medium saucepan over medium heat. (Or just use the sauté pan.) Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter, then sprinkle in the flour.
• 5. Whisk in the milk, stirring constantly, until the white sauce starts to thicken. Salt & pepper, to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
• 6. To assemble, butter a 3 qt. (or up to a 13 x 9") baking dish. Spread 1/3 of the white sauce over the bottom of the dish.
• 7. Layer 1/2 of the potatoes, 1/2 of the onions,1/2 of the ham, and 1/2 of the cheese.
• 8. Spoon over ½ of the remaining white sauce.
• 9. Repeat layers of the rest of the potatoes, onion, white sauce, and finish with ham and cheese on top.
• 10. Drizzle additional milk over the top of the prepared casserole. If the white sauce was barely thickened, just add ½ cup of milk. If the white sauce got more thickened while making it, add a little more milk, but no more than 1 cup or the casserole will be soupy. But if you like it that way... =^..^=
• 11. Bake uncovered at 350˚ F for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and the cheese is bubbling.
• 12. Serve immediately and stand back to avoid the stampede.
