Ingredients

7-8 medium potatoes peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 - 1 1/2 cup diced ham
2 1/2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese shredded
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cornstarch Slurry

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water

Instructions

Start by washing, peeling, and slicing your potatoes to 1/4 inch thick. I recommend using a mandoline.
Once potatoes are thinly sliced toss them into the Instant Pot. Add in your diced ham, parsley, garlic, onion, salt, chicken stock, and place lid on the Instant Pot.
Make sure the valve is set to sealing and do high pressure/manual for 1 minute. Once the timer goes off do a quick release.
Remove all your potatoes and ham and place them in your baking dish. Make sure to leave all the liquid in the Instant Pot. This will be the base of your creamy cheesy sauce.
Now you will turn your Instant Pot to saute and add in your heavy cream and shredded Monterey jack cheese. You need to stir constantly so it doesn't burn.
Once the cheese is fully mixed and melted, go ahead and mix up your cornstarch and tablespoon of cold water. Then pour that in and again continuously stir. This will thicken the sauce.
When the sauce is thick, pour over the potatoes and ham. Then gently stir the mixture to cover the potatoes and ham.
Top with 1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese and then place your mixture in a preheated oven and broil on high. Cook anywhere 3-5 minutes until it becomes golden brown on the top.
Remove from the oven, top with fresh parsley, and serve.
