Instructions

Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13×9-inch baking dish.

Mix Casserole Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine thawed hash browns, melted butter, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.

Assemble the Casserole:
Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Prepare the Topping:
In a separate bowl, crush cornflakes and mix with melted butter. Sprinkle over the potato mixture.

Bake:
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

Garnish and Serve:
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

Thaw hash browns completely for even cooking.

Allow the casserole to rest for 5–10 minutes after baking for easier serving.

Add diced jalapeños to the mixture for a subtle spicy kick.
