Sprinkle flour into skillet; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add stock, evaporated milk and mustard; cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened, 10 minutes.
Cut potatoes into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick slices. Arrange one-third of the potatoes in greased 11- x 7-inch (2 L) glass baking dish; top with half of the spinach. Repeat layers. Spread remaining potatoes over top. Sprinkle with ham. Evenly pour sauce over top. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and bread crumbs.
