Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and boil them in a large pot of salted water until tender but still firm, about 15-18 minutes.

Once cooked, drain and allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Then, dice them into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 1.5 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the mixture and carefully stir until the potatoes are evenly coated with the cheesy mixture.

Step 6

Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with the melted butter until evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the potato mixture in the baking dish. Then, evenly distribute the cornflake topping over the cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Let the cheesy potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious, comforting dish with your loved ones!
