Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Place half of the sliced potatoes in a 9 x13 pan. Top with the cubed ham, peas and onion. Cover with remaining potatoes.
Make sauce by melting butter, adding garlic, flour to make a paste and add in milk and chicken broth until desired consistency. Add in cheese. Stir until melted and pour over potatoes. Cover with foil and bake approx.. 45 minutes.
Add remaining cheese and bake uncovered 10-15 more minutes until golden brown.
