Baked Potatoes with Ham and Cheese in Béchamel Sauce

Before baking, the potatoes are thinly sliced, keeping them connected on one side. This allows them to fan out during baking, making it easy to insert pieces of cheese and ham between the slices. The dish is then topped with béchamel sauce, sprinkled with grated cheese, and baked in the oven. You can imagine that the final dish is incredibly flavorful and will surely become a regular on your menu. Serve it with a bowl of salad, or you can also present the baked potatoes as a side dish to a nice piece of beef.

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Wash the potatoes under running water and dry them thoroughly with paper towels.

  2. Take one potato and place it between two wooden spoons to prevent cutting it too deeply. Then, using a sharp knife, slice the potato thinly and place it in an ovenproof dish. Repeat this process with all the potatoes.

  3. Brush the potatoes with oil and season them with salt. Bake them in the preheated oven for about an hour, or until they turn golden brown and fan out.

  4. Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, alternately insert pieces of cheese and ham between the slices.

  5. Pour béchamel sauce over the stuffed potatoes and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Return the dish to the oven for another 20 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
