A comforting cheesy potato casserole with a crispy cornflake topping and creamy cheesy interior, perfect for potlucks and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (30 oz / 850 g) package frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat sour cream
  • 1 (10.5 oz / 298 g) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (60 g) crushed cornflakes
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Make sure your frozen shredded hashbrowns are thawed and drained well. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  4. Fold in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and thawed hashbrowns until everything’s evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top gently without pressing down too hard.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with melted butter until all crumbs are coated.
  7. Evenly distribute the cornflake mixture over the potato layer.
  8. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until bubbling edges and a crisp, golden-brown topping form. If the topping browns too quickly, tent lightly with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  9. Let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes once out of the oven to set up.
  10. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley for garnish and serve warm.

Notes

Drain and dry hashbrowns well to avoid sogginess. Use a blend of sharp cheddar and mozzarella for flavor and creaminess. Toss cornflakes in melted butter before topping for a golden crunch. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Let casserole rest before serving for clean slices. Can prep mixture the night before; add 5-10 minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
