Instructions: Thaw potatoes. Press potatoes between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Grease two 8 oz. Casserole dishes. Arrange potatoes evenly in bottoms of casseroles. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and let stand for 20 minutes to cool slightly. Reduce oven to 350 degrees F. On top of potatoes in casseroles, layer ham and cheeses.

In small mixing bowl, combine eggs and cream. Pour egg mixture over potato/cheese mixtures. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until centers appear set. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving.
