Peel & cut up Potatoes to desired size, then toss in your crockpot
2

Melt butter in large pot or Dutch oven, then add flour. This needs to be on med-high & stir constantly

Flour will appear chunky & clumpy. Perfect! Fry 4-6min, still stirring!

5

Pour the mixture over the potatoes once it's cooked about 10min on medium. Then add the cut ham, over mixture

Add cheese during the last 30min. I did 2 heaping cupfuls, then added the rest to each bowl. Yum!
