This vintage 1988 ham and potato casserole features tender potato layers, savory ham chunks, and a rich Campbell’s cheese soup sauce. The grated potato topping creates irresistible texture while breadcrumbs add a golden, crispy finish.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6-8 medium russet potatoes (about 2 1/2-3 lbs), sliced thin or cubed
  • 2 cups grated russet potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1-2 lbs cooked ham, cubed (about 3-4 cups)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz each) Campbell's Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (optional but recommended)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Layer the Base: Arrange sliced or cubed potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Scatter the cubed ham over the potatoes. Season with the full tablespoon of black pepper. Spread the grated potatoes evenly over the top.
  3. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and both cans of Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese Soup until completely smooth with no lumps. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and ham.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the cheese sauce. If using, sprinkle bread crumbs evenly across the top.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.
  6. Finish Uncovered: Remove foil and continue baking for 30-45 minutes more, until potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden brown. Baking time depends on potato variety and slice thickness.
    Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley just before serving.
