Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. Place the thawed hash brown potatoes in the bottom of the prepared dish.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, condensed soup, shredded cheese, sour cream, salt, and chopped onion. Mix well until smooth.

    🔍 Mix it just until combined; overmixing can make the texture less creamy!

  4. Pour the cheesy mixture over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.

  5. Top generously with crushed cornflakes, then drizzle the remaining melted butter over the top.

  6. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

    ⏰ Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes; every oven is different, and you want that perfect crispy topping!
