This Leftover Gammon and Potato Bake is not only hearty and flavourful, but it’s also the perfect way to turn kitchen odds and ends into a meal your whole household will love.

Serve it on its own or with a crisp side salad or green beans to balance out the richness. This bake proves that leftovers can be just as exciting as the original meal — if not more so.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Add Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–6 minutes until thickened.
Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Layer half the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with half the onions and half the diced gammon.
Pour over half the cheese sauce. Repeat with remaining potatoes, onions, gammon, and cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar and all the Parmesan.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips til madlavning af rester af Gammon Bake

Brug voksagtige kartofler som Yukon Gold for den bedste tekstur.
Skær kartoflerne tynde og jævnt for ensartet tilberedning.
Tilsæt et nip muskatnød eller timian til saucen for dybde.
Spring ikke Dijon over - det løfter hele smagsprofilen.
Lav saucen langsomt for at undgå klumper - pisk konstant.
Brug rester af kogte eller ristede kartofler, hvis du har dem - reducer bare bagetiden.
Lad bagen hvile inden servering, så den kan sætte sig og skær den pænt ud.
Tilføj en håndfuld frosne ærter eller spinat mellem lagene for ekstra grønt.
Drys brødkrummer på toppen inden den sidste bagning for en sprød finish.
Opbevar rester tildækket i køleskabet i op til 3 dage og opvarm forsigtigt.
