Fans of our viral potato au gratin stacks, gather 'round! These cheesy scalloped potato and ham stacks are bound to be your next go-to side dish. Just like the OG, they have layers of russet potatoes soaked in fresh thyme, seasoned half-and-half, and Parmesan. But to make this its own thing, I added thinly sliced ham and topped each stack with melty cheddar cheese. Since potatoes are so versatile, these cheesy bites can pop up on your table any time of the day, for any occasion. Serve them alongside roasted red onion chicken for dinner, a classic French omelet for brunch, or air fry one at 12:15 a.m. for a little late-night snack. Better yet, add them to your holiday dinner spread if you want to give a twist to the classic decadent side dish.
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer at 400° until the centers are warm and the cheese starts to crisp on the edges.
