Description
- In a medium saucepan, cook 2 cups broccoli in boiling, lightly salted water for 3 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again.
- Coat a 2-quart rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. Add 4 cups potatoes and 2 tablespoons chives to the prepared dish; toss to combine. Top with broccoli, 6 ounces ham and 1 cup cheese.
