To prepare, simply remove the plastic film and heat the dish according to package directions, typically in a conventional oven or a microwave. For oven preparation, place the frozen tray on a baking sheet and heat until bubbly and heated through. If using a microwave, vent the film and heat on high power, stirring halfway through. The goal is to ensure the sauce is fully melted and the potatoes are tender and hot.
