Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 6–8 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

Casserole Mixture

  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 pint (16 ounces) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt, to taste

Topping

  • Cornflakes, crushed (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain them well.
  3. Prepare Casserole Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, chopped onion, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy base.
  4. Combine Potatoes and Mixture: Gently fold the drained potatoes into the soup mixture, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated but not mashed.
  5. Assemble in Baking Dish: Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  6. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with 2 tablespoons of melted butter until the flakes are well coated.
  7. Add Cheese and Cornflake Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potato mixture. Then evenly distribute the buttery cornflake topping over the cheese layer.
  8. Bake Casserole: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly throughout.
  9. Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes to set before serving. This will make it easier to cut and serve.

Notes

  • This casserole is excellent for family gatherings and potlucks due to its comforting flavors and easy portioning.
  • You can prepare the casserole mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it. Bake it right before serving to enjoy a fresh, hot dish.
