Ingredients

• 6 cups diced potatoes (about 6 medium potatoes)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs (for topping)
• 1/4 cup melted butter (for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large pot, boil the diced potatoes until they are just tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. Mix the Casserole: In a large bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Add the cooked potatoes and mix gently to coat them evenly with the sauce.
4. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. In a separate bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
