Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch (3-quart) baking dish with butter.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a blond roux. This cooks out the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the warm milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety.
Assemble the casserole by arranging one-third of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared dish. Top with half of the diced ham, then pour one-third of the cheese sauce over the top. Repeat the layers once more: potatoes, remaining ham, and sauce. Finish with a final layer of the remaining potatoes and pour the last of the sauce over them, ensuring all potatoes are submerged.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. The potatoes should be starting to get tender.
Carefully remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to set and thicken further. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
