3 lb all-purpose potatoes
1 1/2 c milk
1/3 c all-purpose flour
1 c half and half
3/4 c water
1 pkt vegetable broth powder
1 tsp dried thyme -- crumbled
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
12 oz ham -- diced
4 green onions -- thinly sliced
1/2 c swiss cheese -- shredded

Bring large pot of water to boiling. Peel potatoes; thinly slice; place

water; boil 3 minutes. Drain; reserve.

Heat oven to 375. Coat inside of 12x7x2-inch or other 2 1/2-3 quart baking
dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Stir together 1/2 cup milk and the flour in medium-size saucepan until smooth.
Stir in remaining 1 cup milk, the half and half, water, vegetable broth
powder, thyme, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, over medium heat until sauce
thickens and bubbles, about 3 minutes.

Spoon one-third of potatoes into prepared casserole. Sprinkle with half of
the ham and green onion. Spoon on one-third of sauce. Repeat layers. Top
layer should be potatoes with remaining sauce poured over all.

Bake, covered, in 375 oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over top and sut
with paprika if desired. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes or until lightly
browned. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
