Ingredients

• 6 medium russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups cornflake cereal (crushed)
• 4 tablespoons butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Fold the cooked potatoes gently into the mixture, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated with the creamy sauce.

Step 6

Pour the potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflake cereal with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm and comforting Mom's Potato Casserole!
