3. Creamy Sauce:
   • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter.
   • Whisk in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, stirring for about a minute to create a roux.
   • Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

   • Turn off the heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
4. Assembly:

   • Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, ham, onions, and sauce.
5. Baking:
   • Sprinkle the top with additional paprika for extra flavor.
   • Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for around 1 hour and 15 minutes.
   • Bake until the potatoes are tender, and the top is golden brown.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley as desired.
