4. Fold in the Potatoes
Add the diced potatoes into the mixture and gently fold until every piece is well coated in that creamy sauce.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
6. Make the Crispy Topping
In a small bowl, mix:
- Crushed cornflakes
- Melted butter
Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole. This is what gives the dish its irresistible golden crunch.
7. Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until:
- The top is golden and crispy
- The edges are bubbling
- The center is hot and creamy
8. Let It Rest (Just a Little!)
Allow the casserole to sit for about 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps it set slightly and makes it easier to scoop.
