Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to boil and partially cook the potato slices for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a roux, cooking for 1 minute.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cream cheese to the sauce and stir until melted and smooth. Then, add the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and creamy.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the partially cooked potatoes, corn, and cheese sauce. Mix gently to coat evenly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and olive oil until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Step 10

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the casserole in an even layer.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
