Ingredients
- 30 ounces hash brown potatoes (thawed) see note
- 1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick) divided
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup scallions chopped
- 2 cups cheddar grated
- 2 cups corn flakes crushed
Instructions
- Thaw the hash brown potatoes (you can let them sit on your counter for an hour or so or thaw them in the fridge overnight).
- Preheat your oven to 350F and move the rack to the middle position.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave or in a small pan on the stove.
- Add the potatoes to a 9x13 casserole dish.
- To a medium prep bowl, add the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 4 tablespoons of the melted butter (half of it), garlic powder, salt & pepper, scallions, and cheese. Stir until combined.
- Pour the mixture over the potatoes and toss until combined, then smooth them into an even layer.
- Add the corn flakes to a large ZipLoc and crush them (use your hands or a rolling pin/bottle/etc.).
- Mix the rest of the butter with the corn flakes (I do this in another bowl) then add the corn flake topping to the casserole.
- Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Notes
- Hash brown potatoes are sold in bags of various sizes in the frozen foods section of most grocery stores. Anything in the 30 oz. ballpark will work. I used diced ones, but you can try shredded ones if you prefer. You can instead use 2-3 pounds of Russet potatoes (dice them then boil them until they're just tender, then drain and add them to the casserole dish).
- Serves 6-10 depending on portion size.
