Ham and Potato Gratins

Ingredients

• 2½ tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1 medium vidalia onion
• ¾ tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. Freshly ground pepper
• 2 lb. Yukon gold potatoes
• 1½ c. leftover glazed ham
• 1¼ c. grated Gruyère cheese
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
• 1½ c. half-and-half

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook over low heat until onion is deep brown and translucent, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and combine with potatoes, ham, cheese, parsley, and remaining salt and pepper.
2. Lightly butter eight 1-cup ramekins, divide potato mixture among dishes, and pour 3 tablespoons half-and-half in each. Dot tops with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter.
3. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until potatoes are tender, 35 more minutes.
