Notes

  • If using fresh potatoes, boil them until fork-tender, but not mushy, before dicing.
  • You can use any type of shredded cheese you prefer, such as Colby Jack or Monterey Jack.
  • For a bit of a kick of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the potato mixture.
  • If you don't have cornflakes, you can use crushed potato chips or bread crumbs for the topping.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Bake it the next day, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
