- Add Ham, Onion, and Cheese: Sprinkle half of the diced ham over the potatoes, followed by half of the diced onion and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, ham, onion, and cheddar cheese to build up the casserole.

Notes
- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup if preferred.
- Use leftover ham or any cooked ham for convenience.
- If you like a crispier top, you can sprinkle extra cheese and finish under a broiler for a few minutes after cooking.
- To reduce sodium, use low-sodium soup and adjust salt accordingly.
- This casserole can be made ahead up to layering step, then refrigerated and cooked later.
