THAW the bag of frozen potatoes before using so they will combine easier with the other ingredients.
Before placing the potatoes in the oven to bake, spray a sheet of aluminum foil with no stick cooking spray. Cover the potatoes for about 40 minutes, then uncover and continue baking until the potatoes are tender.
