Instructions
Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly spray a 9X13 casserole dish.
Make the Potato Filling: In a large bowl, combine sour cream, soup, butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Then add the cheese and hash brown potatoes and mix until combined and coated.
Spoon the mixture into a single layer in a 9x13'' pan.
Crush the cornflakes in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin or you can gently crush them by hand.
Make the Topping: To a bowl, add melted butter to the crushed cornflakes and combine well. Evenly spread cornflake mixture over the top of the potato mixture.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until bubbly, and the topping is golden brown.If your topping starts to brown too much for your liking, you can cover it with foil for part of the baking.
Serve: Let the casserole rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This helps it set up nicely so it scoops easily and stays perfectly creamy.
