Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk in 3 tablespoons flour and cook for 1 minute.
3. Whisk in about 1/2 cup milk and cook, whisking, until thickened. Add another 1/2 cup milk and cook, whisking, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup milk and cook, whisking, until thickened, another 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few turns of black pepper and half the Gruyere. Cook gently for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.
5. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Spread half the potatoes (about 1 pound of the 2 pounds, sliced 1/8-inch thick) over the bottom and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
6. Pour half the cream sauce over the potatoes, then sprinkle with the ham and half the chives.
7. Arrange the remaining potatoes on top, then add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining sauce, remaining Gruyere and remaining chives.
8. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until browned on top.
9. Let cool slightly before serving.
