Preparation

Heat oven to 180C conventional. Peel potatoes and slice 3 mm thick. Dice onion, cut ham into strips and wash spinach.
Melt butter in a saucepan. Cook onion for 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in flour, then gradually add milk and cream while stirring. Simmer for 3 minutes until sauce lightly thickens. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Layer half the potatoes in a greased casserole dish. Add half the ham, spinach and sauce. Repeat with remaining potatoes, ham, spinach and sauce.
Seal dish tightly with foil and bake for 55 minutes. Remove foil, scatter cheese over top and bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes until golden.
Push a knife into the centre: potatoes must be tender without resistance. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
