This was a great use of our leftover ham but I did make a couple of modifications. I didn't have time to cut the potatoes by hand (it was a last minute thing) so I used the slicing function on my food processor to get nice thin slices. I then cut them up a bit more but I don't think that was necessary. I melted 4 tablespoons of butter and added the flour to that. I didn't have lemon pepper and didn't substitute anything. I also used garlic instead of onion powder. I added chopped onions to the sauce before adding the cheese. I also only used 2 chicken bouillons instead of 3 and I still think it was a little bit salty. We had much more than 1 cup of ham to use up so I put it all in. My husband commented that there wasn't very much of it, I would do do an extra half recipe or even double it next time I make it because we like to have leftovers for lunch. Definitely a keeper!

I made this with no butter and it turned out great. i am giving this a 4 because of my own problems- I overcooked the potatoes. However, I added corn and carrots. i also used lemon rosemary blend spice because I know my kids do not like pepper. the sauce is fantastic.

This was fabulous! I used a sodium free powdered bullion and it was not salty - in fact, I added salt at the table. My mixture was lumpy and thick but, I had no time to worry about it so I just poured it over the potatoes and ham and it was wonderful. Not dry, not runny, not salty, tender potatoes. My new staple favorite!

Having read the reviews about saltiness, I reduced bullions to 2. However, as I always seem to missing some ingredient these were my subs: 2 t pepper (instead of lemon pepper), and 1 t garlic salt (instead of onion powder). Though it was garlic salt, it didn't add to the saltiness, the 2 t pepper however, certainly does add ..."spice" and makes it taste more like pepper than a cheese sauce. This recipe turned out to me more like a glorified potatoes au gratin, but with like a hashbrown feel that you could take to a brunch.

Very easy to make. I had to feed 6 kids with this (and they're all picky), and they actually ate it. I did not include the lemon pepper because I don't like it. It was creamy, tasty, and a great use of leftovers.

This was really pretty good. I used Velveeta and it was just a bit gluey, but we all liked it and will definitely have it again (but probably with the cheddar). The julienne potatoes were a nice touch and cooked in 1 hr just fine.

My mother in law and I liked it but my husband said it was bland. It was easy to cook though but we used our own cheese sauce recipe.

My family absolutely loves this recipe. I just cut up enough potatos to fill my casserole dish, dice up a ham steak toss it over the potatoes and pour the sauce over it. It turns out great every time. I serve it along with a Ceaser salad. It makes for a great inexpensive meal. It's wonderfully quick to make too if you don't have a lot of time!

I was in a big hurry to find a recipe for my leftover ham, I should have read the reviews. I too questioned why no butter and couldn't believe how salty it turned out, I even tried adding sugar to cut down on the taste. It was bland, the potatoes were not done in an hour. Overall, it's NOT a keeper in my file box.

That recipe is really delicious! I decided, however that I wanted a bit more color and zip so added a chopped bell pepper - any color but green is cheaper, of course. I also use a medium onion sliced in small wedges rather than the onion powder and combine with the chopped pepper to create another layer. I cut the cheese sauce ingredients in half and add about a teaspoon of crushed red pepper to overcome the salty taste and provide a bit of zing.

This turned out pretty well: but I made some modifications after reading the reviews. I melted butter and then mixed in the flour, cornstarch, 1 t of lemon pepper, onion powder and lots of pepper. I next added the milk, 2 bouillon cubes, some fresh sliced mushrooms and pimentos, and let it thicken. I made sure to julienne the potatoes, and added broccoli. The key is to julienne the potatoes so they get done in time. The broccoli was a little overdone; maybe I'll cover next time. That's what's great about this site: recipe building is a community process, instead of scripture!

The lemon pepper is overpowering and the cheese sauce isn't particularly tasty. The potatoes were undercooked in only an hour of baking. Definitely not a hit in this household.

I didn't get the "toast the flour" portion of this recipe. I can't see how its possible ~ so I first melted 4 TBLS butter before adding the flour and (only half the) cornstarch. I also used skim milk, only 1 tsp of lemon pepper and 2 chix bullion cubes. Finally, I added 1/2c chopped brocoli and a jar of diced pimentos for color and taste. Not too salty or pasty. In fact, it was pretty good! Very homey (meaning non-gourmet) dinner. If the potatoes are cubed to the right size (small) they should cook in the time allotted. Thanks Fran.

I just made this after reading the previous reviews. I reduced the bouillon cubes from 3 to 2 (to combat reported saltiness), made sure to julienne my potatoes (so it would cook in 1 hour), and used skim milk in the sauce (so it wouldn't be too thick). I'm glad I read the reviews first because these adjustments made the recipe come out perfectly. While my husband and I enjoyed it, my 3-year-old twins were not big fans. I suspect it may have been a bit too "spicey" for them. They picked out the ham to eat but avoided the saucey potatoes. If I make it again, I might try reducing or leaving out the lemon pepper.
