To prepare Western Hearth Rustic Potatoes, preheat your oven or air fryer to the recommended temperature. Spread the frozen potato pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket.

Adjust cooking time based on your appliance and desired level of crispness. Serve hot as a delicious accompaniment.
