I created this recipe to hide the cauliflower from the grandkids. I sometimes mix the cauliflower and potatoes, but I like the layering for serving.
Butter a 9x13 inch pan. Add salt and pepper to taste to all layers. Layer half of the potatoes, either white or sweet. You can mix it up using both types of potatoes or you can go with only one type, your choice. Use 1/3 of cheese on top. Spread evenly.
On the next layer, add the mashed or pureed cauliflower and again place 1/3 cheese on top.
Place the last 1/2 of the potatoes on top and add the sauteed ham bites and onions and the rest of the cheese.
Bake 30 minutes to heat through. Serve with apple butter, and it's a great fall dinner. The leftovers are good too!
