❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
This ham and potato recipe is great for leftover ham or just anytime. It’s so easy in the crock pot. Throw it all together, and you have a meal in a few hours. This dish is so easy to make and absolutely delicious. I make a huge pot of this, and it doesn’t last long. It makes a wonderful weeknight meal when you come home from a busy day.
SWAPS & ADDITIONS
If you are not a fan of creamed soups, you can easily make your own. You can also switch out the mushroom soup for cream of celery or cream of chicken. This is a versatile recipe. If you don’t like onions, you can leave them out, too. If you read the comments on this recipe you will get some more ideas. Many have added broccoli, peas, etc. Some used milk instead of the soup. You can add seasonings you like as well. This is a very basic recipe with lots of room to add what you like. We like to describe this as just a great country meal.
MAKE THIS RECIPE FOR TWO
You can easily halve this recipe to make it for two people. Just use half the ingredients and you will have a much smaller serving. This is a dish that you can make a much smaller amount of and it not change the taste.
WHAT TYPE OF POTATOES DO YOU USE?
We just use russet potatoes but we have made this with yellow potatoes. They do cook a little faster and you don’t have to remove the skin. Honestly you don’t have to remove the skin at all if you are a fan. It will be delicious either way!

This works well substituting ham with smoked sausage, too! I just slice it up in thin, round slices and fry it first.
Hey there, I just wanted to let people know; this recipe is very delicious. We’ll worth making whatever ingredients you choose. I used cream of chicken plus milk and left over taco spiced hamburger meat/with yellow potatoes. Really appreciate you ladies sharing your recipes.
Thanks to you Southern Ladies for such a nice recipe site to look at and useCecelia
Not sure if I got the recipe rating to show. Anyway five stars plus three.
YAY! We are so thrilled you enjoy this recipe and the way you made it sounds delicious! So glad you enjoy the recipes and thank you so much for the kind words.
I have made this before exactly like the recipe and it was delicious! I am wondering if I can cook on high for half the time and get the same results?
Hope this is helpful for people who don’t have time to get this into the slow cooker~ it works very well in the oven. I was pressed for time so I baked in a greased casserole at 375 for about an hour and them took the lid off so it could brown a bit. I seasoned each layer with garlic powder, onion powder and pepper (and just a little salt). I added about half a cup of heavy cream to the soup to thin it out, the results are delicious. A great recipe for using up leftover ham or making a meal out of ham steaks. Serve with a salad, a comforting dinner.
This is really, really good especially per dollar. I used this because I was worried I bought too much ham (uncured honey ham, lunchmeat) so I made this and I baked it in the oven at 350 (F) because of time constraints. I microwaved the potatoes slightly, 2-4 minutes before I cut them to make them soft, sliced them, and put them in, I also added garlic because why not. I microwaved cheese, some onion, garlic, and the cream of mushroom in a bowl in 30 sec intervals to melt the cheese before pouring over the potatoes, it would probably be better if you used a large bowl and threw the potatoes in and coated them that way rather than pouring them over, but I wasn’t feeling it. I might be salt-sensitive tastewise but I didn’t add additional salt and it tasted wonderful to me. easily 5 stars due to easy, baked for 1 hr.
Great basic recipe I used leftover ham bone, subbed can of soup w half and half, added couple cups chopped broccoli crowns, left potato skins on. Love the versatility!
I used boneless, uncured ham and added peas and a little cooked bacon. I add NO SALT because it doesn’t need it. I mix the soup with 3/8 cup skim milk just for the consistency. I have to leave out the cheese because my freak husband doesn’t like cheese. He devours this stuff – I barely get any! Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome, so glad it’s a hit!
well I’m gonna give this a try but sub for the cream of( gout flaur)mushroom really thinking about using a can of potato soup and maybe a clove of garlic.ill let u know how it turns out.
Thank you for great ideas, will definitely try the recipes.
what kind of cheese is best ?
I have used all kinds in this recipe, Judy. Try cheddar or swiss they are both good.
try hamburg instead of ham.-ummmm,ummmm good.
Did you use 1 lb of ground beef?
Tried this with cream of celery soup,,My family loved it.
Made this yesterday, I used cream of chicken soup with some milk. Delicious, had it again this morning for breakfast 🙂 Thanks for sharing
This looks delicious. I dont have a crock pot right now. is there away to amend the recipe for stove top?
I don’t know about top of the stove but you could layer in a casserole and bake in the oven at about 350 degrees until potatoes are cooked when you stick a fork into them.
Great post!!….Will make after Ester to use up some of that leftover ham.
