Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 32 ounces frozen Southern style diced potatoes, thawed and well drained
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Topping

  • 2 cups corn flakes, crushed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Butter a 9X13 inch baking dish; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together hash browns, sour cream, milk, onion, soup, melted butter, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and shredded cheese, and mix well.
  • Make the topping by mixing the crushed cornflakes with the 1/4 cup butter in a medium mixing bowl. Reserve for later for topping.
  • Pour potatoes into the prepared baking dish. Cover and bake potatoes in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and spread the top of casserole with cornflake mixture and continue baking, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes until potatoes are bubbling and the top has browned.
