Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large spoon or spatula
  • Aluminum foil
  • Sharp knife

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 block cream cheese
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup crushed cornflakes
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Prepare the potatoes: Peel and slice the russet potatoes into thin rounds. A mandolin slicer works great for this if you have one, ensuring even slices.
  • Make the creamy mixture: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, melted butter, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
  • Layer the casserole: Add a layer of sliced potatoes to the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a portion of the creamy mixture on top of the potatoes, then sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese over it. Repeat the layers until you’ve used up all the potatoes and creamy mixture, finishing with a layer of cheddar cheese.
  • Add the topping: In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with the melted butter. Sprinkle this crunchy topping evenly over the casserole.
  • Bake: Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the gooey, cheesy, and crispy goodness!

Notes

  • Slice Potatoes Evenly: To ensure even cooking, make sure your potato slices are uniform in thickness. Using a mandolin slicer is a great way to achieve this.
     
  • Don’t Skip the Topping: The cornflake topping is what gives this casserole that crispy, golden finish. It’s an essential part of the recipe—don’t leave it out!
     
  • Use Fresh Potatoes: Fresh russet potatoes give the best texture and flavor. If using pre-packaged frozen potatoes, the casserole may turn out a bit mushier than intended.
     
  • Let It Rest: After baking, let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to cut and serve.
     
  • Customize the Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with seasonings! Add a pinch of paprika or a handful of chopped green onions for extra flavor. Don’t be afraid to make this recipe your own.
