 Dr. Ron (California) says:
This recipe was great! Excellent flavor ... very much a comfort dish. I used good quality left-over ham and cheddar-jack cheese. Prepared as directed, it produced a great soup, which we enjoyed very much. Adding onions is a great idea!

 Stephan (California) says:
Great, but note following comments:
1) I added fresh finely-chopped dill, and it greatly improves the receipe. Dill always goes well with potatoes.
2) Just use milk (others prefer cream); otherwise, you just end up discarding the rest of the evaporated milk
3) I added garlic and it helps. Many other recipes also call for garlic.
4) Since recipe calls for fully pre-cooking mixture in frying pan, then no way does it additionally require 45 min oven time. More like 30 min.

We loved it, Modified it just a bit, boiled the potatoes for about 2 minutes, drained off most of the liquid, THEN added the other ingredients, instead of evaporated milk, used 2 cups fat free half n half and instead of low sodium chicken broth, we used 2 tbsp powdered chicken bullion instead. Also baked it for only 30 minutes. If you like it a little more spicy, try adding in a little pepper jack cheese. :-)

Liked this dish a lot! Modified a little, used half & half instead of evaporated milk. Before topping with the remaining cheese, added a layer of freshly chopped chives and bread crumbs than baked!

Easy recipe! Added onions and replaced evaporated milk for 2%, replaced the chicken broth with cream of mushroom soup and added velveeta cheese and topped with cheddar cheese. Turn out amazing! Bake for 25 mins

Followed exactly and it turned out to be soupy. Any suggestions?

 Judy (Missouri) says:
I sauteed a small chopped onion in half of the butter and added it to the ham, potato, and water mixture along with a couple of bouillon cubes (instead of using the broth in the flour mixture). I also used half and half instead of evaporated milk. The recipe didn't state how much milk to add to the flour so I melted the other 2 tbsp. of butter, added the flour, and then added milk to make a white sauce. I then stirred the white sauce into the potato mixture and baked at 350°F until it was lightly browned. Turned out great!

I would have given it 5 stars if I hadn't struggled over how much milk to use.
