Ham and Potato Casserole Recipe #321479

I tried this one and it turned out well but the cook time is off.  I baked it for 20 minutes as stated but the potatoes were still crunchy so I popped in the microwave for 10 minutes and that seem to do the trick.  I did not use butter for the flour mixture I used olive oil and I did not put the extra pat of butter on top, nor did I use the onion and everything seemed to work out well.  I used cheddar cheese.
