To prepare, simply remove the plastic film from the container. Place the frozen dish in a conventional oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). Bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the potatoes are tender. You can check for doneness by gently piercing a potato slice with a fork. For a crispier topping, you can broil for the last few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
