Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse the potatoes under cold water.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and boil for 10-12 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold the cooked potato cubes into the creamy mixture, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated.
Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
