Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup diced ham Can use leftover ham or store-bought diced ham
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Add near the end for melting
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a slow cooker, combine the diced potatoes and ham.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the soup mixture over the potatoes and ham in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and allow it to melt.
  6. Serve hot.

Notes

Dice potatoes to the same size for even cooking. Do not add cheese at the start to keep it melty. If the mixture looks dry, stir in a little extra milk. Taste and adjust salt, especially if the ham is salty.
