Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 Tbsp (½ stick) butter, plus extra for greasing
½ yellow onion, diced
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 tsp pepper
2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed clean
2 cups diced cooked ham
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
Chopped parsley (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Add the butter and onion to a large skillet over medium heat and saute it until it starts to soften, 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and whisk them together, cooking the mixture for 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Stir in the milk and half-and-half and whisk the mixture, allowing it to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the pepper, then stir the sauce, reduce the heat, and keep warm.

Slice the potatoes very thinly using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife. The thinner the better!

Generously butter a two-quart baking dish. Add half the potatoes and ham. Sprinkle on half the cheese, then pour on half the sauce from the skillet. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients. Sprinkle extra pepper on top.

Cover the dish with foil and bake it for 40 minutes, then remove the foil and bake it for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
