- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Or a little bit of oil. To prevent sticking. Spread the hashbrown mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make Topping: In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 c crushed cornflakes with 4 tbsp melted butter. Stir until the cornflakes are fully coated with butter.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the buttery cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the hashbrown mixture in the baking dish. This will create a deliciously crispy topping.
