Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, melted unsalted butter, and diced yellow onion.
Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, grated parmesan cheese, and olive oil or melted butter. Mix until the cornflakes are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the cornflake topping evenly over the hash brown mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
