Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Resealable Plastic Bag
  • Medium bowl
  • Large pot

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish.
  • In a large pot, add lightly salted water and bring it to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add whole, unpeeled potatoes and cook until they are tender, which should take about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Once cooked, transfer the potatoes to a cutting board and discard the water.
  • After they have cooled enough to handle, peel the potatoes and grate them into a medium bowl.
  • In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in the soup and cook until it starts to bubble.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in sour cream, Cheddar cheese, and green onions.
  • Finally, fold in the grated potatoes until well combined.
  • Pour the potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  • In a resealable plastic bag, combine cornflake crumbs with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  • Shake the bag until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work well for this casserole due to their creamy texture once cooked.
  • Feel free to mix different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or cream cheese, for added flavor.
