Ham and Potato Casserole

tweaked from Southern Livings "Easy Weeknight Favorites"
my tweaks are highlighted RED
 1 (26 ounce) package frozen shredded potatoes-(I actually ended up using a 30 ounce package)
1 (1 pound) ham slice, cut into bite sized pieces
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of potato soup, (or any "cream of" soup) undiluted-(I used 2 cans of soup...1 didnt seem like enough)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 TBS minced onion (or to taste)...optional
1 TBS Mrs Dash-garlic and herb...optional
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
paprika

 Combine first 4 (or six) ingredients; spoon mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.  sprinkle with cheeses (sprinkle parm first) and paprika.  Bake 5 more inutes or until thoroughly heated.
6-8 servings
I am also trying this out as a freezer meal by dividing the potato mixture in half and putting into 2 smaller casserole dishes, one to be cooked the same time and temp, and one to be frozen and cooked later when needed.
