Deeli's Potatoes Au Gratin With Ham

3 medium russet potatoes peeled and cut in to 1/4 inch slices
2 cups cooked ham, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups Monterey jack cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Layer one half of the potatoes in bottom of a baking dish, top with the ham and onions and finish layering with remaining potatoes.

In a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium heat, add flour and stir for about one minute.
Add milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened.
Add all cheese and stir until just melted.
Pour mixture over the potatoes, ham and onions.

Cover and bake for about one hour.
Test for potato doneness and if potatoes are close to being tender continue baking without a cover for fifteen more minutes in order to brown the top of the casserole.
