Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups Milk
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Green onions (sliced)
- 1 cup Crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender but not mushy, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a creamy sauce, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Combine the cooked potato cubes and the cheese sauce in a large bowl, tossing gently to coat the potatoes evenly. Stir in the green onions.
Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes (or breadcrumbs) with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
