Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped, optional
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup crushed cornflakes
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and cook for about 10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Gently fold the cooked potatoes and green onions (if using) into the mixture until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the potato mixture evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes and melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the potato mixture.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving.
