Can frozen potatoes be baked in the oven?

Here's what you need to know:

* Thaw or not? While you can bake frozen potatoes without thawing, it's best to thaw them slightly for more consistent results.

* Cooking time: Baking time will vary depending on the size and type of potatoes, but generally, you'll need to bake them for 30-45 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

* Ingredients: You can use a variety of seasonings and spices to flavor your baked potatoes. Popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.

* Baking method: Place the frozen potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure there's enough space between the potatoes so they cook evenly.

Tips for baking frozen potatoes:

* Add a little oil or butter: This will help the potatoes crisp up and brown nicely.

* Flip them halfway through: This ensures even cooking.

* Check for doneness: Pierce the potatoes with a fork to check if they're cooked through. They should be tender and easily pierced.
