Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Butter a large 13 x 9 inch (3 L) casserole dish. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and salt. Cook, stirring for about 8 minutes or until thickened enough to coat the spoon; remove from heat. Lay half of the potatoes overlapping slightly into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with half of the ham. Spoon half of the sauce over top. Repeat another layer with remaining potatoes, ham, and sauce. Press potatoes down into sauce and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour.
