The way I dress up leftover ham and mashed potatoes is a surefire success in my house! Cheddar cheese and cream add richness to this casserole while garlic seasons it nicely. It's something my family looks forward to having on a regular basis.
Substituted garlic powder for garlic salt, did not have whipping cream and used 1/4 cup skim mile and 1/4 cream cheese. Also sprinkled seasoned breadcrumbs on top for extra crunch and texture. It was very good and will be made again!
Read MoreThey were very simple to make, but they seemed very bland to me, probably because I didn't add the ham (we were having it with chicken and something cheesey sounded good) I also didn't have any whipping cream, so I just poured 1/2 cup of milk over the cheese. I will make this again, I just won't make it without the ham! lol

My family loved this! I did make a few minor adjustments. I used more ham than was called for (about 1 1/2 cups) and since I didn't have any heavy whipping cream, I poured 1/4 cup 1% milk over the top of the casserole after I sprinkled on the cheese. I will definitely use this recipe again when I have leftover mashed potatoes.
This one is a keeper. Only change I made was sprinkling some Parmesan on the top to give it a nice crispy tasty topping.
Good. I used instant potatoes & also added spices to taste. I happened to have some whipping cream on hand so I followed the directions, but it seemed to "melt" after baking. Not a big deal, just a bit soupy of a top layer--maybe think of it as keeping your potatoes moist. I did add crushed cornflakes to the top and would be even a bit more generous with it next time; it counteracted the creamy texture nicely. Easy & tasty.
This is a very good and easy recipe. I made the majority of the recipe as directed, with the exception that I used 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup cream cheese in place of the whipping cream. Also, sprinkled the top of casserole with crushed french fried onions safter baking 15 minute and baked an additional 5 minutes.
I highly recommend using garlic powder not garlic salt. These potatoes get very salty very fast because of the cheese and the ham. It is a heavy dish and I also recommend serving it as main dish not a side dish. It's great for snow days, and you could even use left over mashed potatoes if you wanted.
This was good. I added some sliced green onions with the ham as I had leftovers to use up. Very tasty!
My family RAVED about this. didn't have heavy cream so used half-half. Mixed in a layer of broccoli between ham and cheese. Also premixed it up a few hours before cooking and just kept in fridge.
We loved it. I have made this quite a few times now. What a great comfort food. Its great with instant potatoes or real!!
My men LOVE this! Very easy and great way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes or ham!
Very filling for the family I added a little seasoning (salt & pepper) and it was perfect.
This was AWESOME! I made a lot of mashed potatoes, mixed it with minced garlic and used diced ham on top. I didn't use the whipping cream either - I used sour cream mixed with the shredded cheese and a little bit of milk. It was really really good! EVERYONE enjoyed this : ) I will be making this again for sure! Next time I'm going to try adding a layer of broccoli between the potatoes and ham.
Best mashed potatoes I've ever made :) Instead of the heavy cream, I used 1/2 Cup skim milk. I used 1/2 cup cooked ham as that's all I had left, and 2% sharp shredded cheddar cheese...Still turned out wonderful!
Made this tonight with leftovers from Christmas and my husband just LOVES it. Thankfully I have enough leftovers to make it tomorrow night also.
This is the best Christmas dinner left over receipe I have tried. My family loved it and was so easy to make!! I did add more ham (what was left over) and basically stuck to the receipe besides adding a little onion powder. I will, for sure, be making this again for Easter dinner left overs.
We loved this - great use of leftovers! Doubled the recipe to make this a main dish for my family of five. Didn't have the whipping cream, so used 1/2 cup half and half and 1/2 cup skim milk. Liquid didn't blend with the cheese well, so I would recommend pouring liquid over top after adding the cheese.
Made this today... the only change I made was I didn't have any whipping cream, so I used half and half. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing!!!
This was a great way to use up leftover ham and potatoes. My kids who didn't like the potatoes yesterday (I used red potatoes and they didn't like the skins in them) gobbled this up today. I think the whipped cream trick is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
These have a wonderful flavor! When short on time I have used 4 cheese flavored instant mashed potatoes and they taste just as good! I would reduce the cream to about a 1/4 cup to make sure the potatoes do not get too runny.
Everyone in my family liked this very much. I thank you for making it available.
They were very simple to make, but they seemed very bland to me, probably because I didn't add the ham (we were having it with chicken and something cheesey sounded good) I also didn't have any whipping cream, so I just poured 1/2 cup of milk over the cheese.

This is a good recipe for left over ham. Don't put too much potatoes on the bottom layer.
This was very good. However, a little too salty. I also used instant mashed potatoes, but it definitely showed in the end. Next time I think I'd use garlic powder instead of garlic salt and real potatoes.
I first made this recipe quite some time ago and it has become a favorite. I don't measure my spices usually and I do add a little salt and pepper to the potatoes. Very good.
I thought that this was a very good dish. I used more ham than called for. My husband would have complained it wasn't enough if I didn't (about a sandwich baggie full of leftover ham that I had frozen) Just enough to make a nice fully covered layer. I also topped it off with a layer of french fried onions which gave it that extra something that it was missing. This is a very easy and quick dish to make (using leftovers), and it's a keeper in my house.
This dish was a little bland/boring. I probably won't make it again. Not because it was a bad recipe, but because for all these calories I need a taste experience that makes it all worth it!
My family loved this! I used a little sour cream with the cheese on top because I didn't have whipping cream.
I used milk instead of whipping cream and added broccoli to the mix. I also used real garlic instead of garlic salt.Very good!
Not too bad, next time I thought about adding some chives for extra flavor. it is a little bland.
I didn't have ham so I used polska kilbasa instead. It's similar to another recipe I've made except your layering the ingredients instead of mixing themn all together.
This recipe was a BIG hit with my husband & kids!!! I made extra potatoes since we love them!! Thanks for a great recipe! I only wish there were leftovers!!
