Yield:

1 9x13-inch dish

Ingredients

8 Idaho or russet potatoes, peeled

2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup

2 cups sour cream

½ cup butter, melted

1 cup chopped green onion

2 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup crushed corn flakes, or more if needed

¼ cup butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Place potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer potatoes until tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut potatoes into 1-inch thick slices.

Step 3

Whisk cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1/2 cup melted butter, and green onions in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Whisk cheese into the sauce. Mix corn flake crumbs with 1/4 cup melted butter in a separate bowl.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of the sour cream sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch glass baking pan. Spread a layer of potato slices over sauce, followed by a thick layer of sauce. Continue layers, ending with sauce. Sprinkle corn flakes mixture over the top of the casserole.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and the corn flakes topping is crisp, about 45 minutes.
