2 pounds frozen diced hash browns thawed (or use fresh potatoes, peeled, boiled, and diced)
1 can 10.75 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Gather your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1/2 cup melted butter, chopped onion, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

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.
