6 Servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup crushed cornflakes
- ½ cup melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Potato Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and cubed potatoes, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and cream of chicken soup. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the potatoes are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Casserole:
- Transfer the prepared potato mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure consistent baking.
Create the Crunchy Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes with the melted butter. Stir until the cornflakes are fully coated. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the potato base, ensuring the entire surface is covered for a uniform, crispy topping.
Bake the Casserole:
- Place the assembled casserole into the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, the cheese is bubbly, and the cornflake topping is golden brown.
Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving. This resting time helps the casserole set and makes serving easier.
