Ingredients

• 32 ounces frozen shredded hash browns
• 1 cup sour cream
• 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
• 1 packet ranch dressing mix
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups cornflakes
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, ranch dressing mix, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.

Step 3

Add the frozen shredded hash browns and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Mix well to coat all the potatoes evenly in the creamy mixture.

Step 4

Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 5

Melt the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Add the cornflakes to the melted butter and mix until the cornflakes are coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the buttered cornflakes evenly over the potato mixture. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5–10 minutes to cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor before serving.
