In 4 quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Cook garlic and shallots in butter 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat. Stir in potatoes, ham, cheese, flour and seasonings.
Pour half-and-half over potato mixture. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.
**If wanting a brown, crispy crust, put them in the broiler a few minutes at the end.
