Not quite a real recipe, but here’s more-or-less what was done:

It was 6 or 7 small russet potatoes, sliced.
About 1.5 or 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (You really can’t use too much cheese.)
a quarter or a half a stick of butter (I don’t remember) cut into pats
Maybe half a cup of milk
chopped ham, maybe two cups worth
a small bag of frozen broccoli, to make it “healthy”
An onion, chopped.
About half a small tub of sour cream
A big handful of chives, cut up (green onions would work also)

Boil the sliced potatoes for about 10 minutes, drain them

Sauté the onion, crisp the ham

Heat up the frozen broccoli in the microwave.

Put everything except the sour cream and chives in a big casserole dish. Do it in layers like a lasagna so that you don’t get all the potatoes in one glob on the bottom.

Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, covered.

Remove the cover and attempt to bake it for 10 minutes, but actually the husband forgot to start the timer when he helpfully removed the cover for you after the first timer went off so who knows how long it was in there, at least it didn’t burn.

Take it out and spoon about half a small tub of sour cream on top and dump the chives over that.

Dinner with plenty of leftovers. 🙂
