Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 2-quart casserole with cooking spray and arrange half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom, overlapping.

In a small saucepan, melt margarine and blend in flour and mustard. Slowly add milk and continue to stir over medium heat until sauce thickens; mix in black pepper and paprika. Pour sauce evenly over potatoes and ham. Top with breadcrumbs.
Cover and bake for 45 minutes; uncover and continue to bake for an additional 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender and golden brown.
