Cheesy Potatoes Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by boiling halved russet potatoes until just tender, then peeling and shredding them. A creamy mixture is prepared from sour cream, cream cheese, melted butter, garlic and onion powders, salt, black pepper, and grated cheddar cheese. The shredded potatoes are mixed with this blend and chopped green onions, then spread evenly into a greased baking dish.
The topping consists of crushed corn flakes combined with melted butter and additional cheddar cheese sprinkled evenly across the potatoes. Baking at 350°F for 45-50 minutes melts the cheese and crisps the coating, creating a contrast between the creamy potato base and crunchy topping.
The final dish features moist, flavorful potatoes with a tangy richness from the sour cream and cream cheese, complemented by the salty sharpness of cheddar. The crispy corn flakes topping adds texture and an appealing golden crust. This dish serves well as a hearty side or a vegetarian-friendly main accompaniment.
