Ooey gooey homemade cheesy potatoes with loads of chunky hash browns, cheese sauce and crunchy cornflake topping.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 medium onion, peeled and minced
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup unsalted chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2-2 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mild and/or sharp cheddar cheese
  • 32-ounce bag diced hash brown potatoes
  • 2 cups cornflakes, lightly crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Heat the butter in an oven-safe pot on the stove to medium. Add the onion and sauté 4-5 minutes or until slightly soft. Stir in the garlic and sauté another 30-60 seconds or until fragrant.
  3. Use a whisk to stir in the flour, until incorporated. Continue to stir as the roux bubbles, about 1-2 minute(s).
  4. Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Continue to whisk frequently until the sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Whisk in the sour cream or Greek yogurt, salt, black pepper, ground mustard, ground nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the cheese. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
  7. Fold in the bag of diced hash brown potatoes until combined. Sprinkle the crushed cornflakes in an even layer on top.
  8. Bake 40-45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
  9. Let slightly cool, then serve.

Notes

Substitution Tip: Use a mixture of mild and sharp cheddar cheese for optimal flavor.
