Ingredients

  • 7 cups (about 2½ pounds) Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup ham, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  5. To assemble, layer half of potato slices in an 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle potatoes with salt. Spread spinach/ham mixture over potato slices. Arrange remaining potato slices over spinach mixture. Pour milk mixture on top. Cover with foil coated with cooking spray.
