🛒 WHAT YOU’LL NEED
🥔 2 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
🥫 1 can (12 oz) Spam, cut into small cubes or thin slices
🧀 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
🧂 Salt and black pepper are optional for seasoning.
👩🍳 HOW TO MAKE IT
1️⃣ PREHEAT THE OVEN
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ PREPARE THE POTATOES
Wash and thinly slice the potatoes.
Try to keep the slices fairly even so they cook at the same rate.
3️⃣ BUILD THE CASSEROLE
Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish.
Add a layer of Spam and sprinkle with some of the shredded cheese.
Repeat the layers until everything is used, finishing with cheese on top. 🧀
4️⃣ COVER & BAKE
Cover the dish tightly with foil.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are nearly tender.
5️⃣ UNCOVER & FINISH
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are completely tender and the cheese is bubbling and golden.
For extra browning, you can place it under the broiler for a minute or two—but watch it closely!
6️⃣ REST & SERVE
Let the casserole rest for about 5–10 minutes before serving.
That gives everything a chance to settle and makes it easier to scoop.
✨ EASY WAYS TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN
🧅 Add sliced onions if you don't mind turning this into a 4-ingredient version.
🌶️ Sprinkle with paprika or your favorite seasoning.
🥓 Add cooked bacon for an extra-indulgent variation.
🌿 Finish with chopped green onions or parsley.
🌶️ Use pepper Jack instead of cheddar for a little kick.
💡 A LITTLE TIP
Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly.
Thicker slices can take much longer to cook, while thin, uniform slices become tender and creamy underneath that golden cheesy topping.
And because Spam is already salty, taste before adding extra salt.
