2. Prepare the Alfredo Mixture:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the Alfredo sauce and milk until smooth and well combined. This creamy mixture will be the heart of your casserole, bringing all the flavors together. 🥛

3. Mix the Ham, Cheese, and Peas:

   • In another bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded Swiss cheese, and thawed peas. This savory blend will add layers of flavor and texture to your casserole. 🧀🥓

4. Layer the Casserole:

   • Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to ensure nothing sticks. Spread 3/4 cup of the Alfredo mixture evenly over the bottom of the dish. This creates a creamy base for your layers. 🥣

   • Now, begin your delicious layers! Arrange half of the thinly sliced potatoes over the Alfredo mixture. 🥔

   • Follow with half of the ham, cheese, and pea mixture. This savory layer adds a delightful contrast of flavors to the creamy potatoes. 🌿

   • Drizzle 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese over this layer for a golden, cheesy crust. 🧀

   • Repeat these layers: potatoes, ham mixture, Alfredo sauce, and Parmesan cheese until all ingredients are used, ending with a final sprinkle of Parmesan on top. 🎉

5. Bake to Perfection:

   • Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the potatoes to cook through. 🕒

   • After 45 minutes, remove the foil, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C), and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. This final step creates a crispy, golden-brown top that’s irresistible. 🌟

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the casserole is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are tender, remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly before serving. 🍽️

   • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness. Serve this Alfredo Potato Casserole hot and enjoy the delicious layers of creamy Alfredo sauce, tender potatoes, savory ham, and gooey cheese. 🤤
