To prepare, spread the frozen potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at the temperature specified on the package, usually around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispness. Cooking times can vary, but generally range from 20 to 30 minutes. For extra crispiness, you can increase the oven temperature slightly for the last few minutes of baking. They can also be cooked in an air fryer or deep fryer according to package directions.
