Creamy, cheesy, bubbly goodness smothered over sliced thin potatoes and topped with crunchy cornflake cereal. This easy cheesy corn flake potato casserole was a hit on our holiday table and is the perfect side dish for any meal, holiday dinner or potluck.
Thanksgiving came and went in the blink of the eye it seems, and my fridge is overflowing with leftovers.
And for that, I’m definitely not sorry!
I always make a lot more food than we’ll eat, because what’s better than Thanksgiving?
Having Thanksgiving for a few day’s after.
We spend all that time in the kitchen cooking, so we might as well stretch it out as far as our waistbands will allow, am I right? 😉
You know I am…
This year I went the super easy route and made all our side dishes ahead of time. This way all I had to do was reheat everything in the oven, and call “not it!” for doing the dishes.
It was very low key but still delicious holiday.
Typically I make mashed potatoes or scalloped potatoes as a side, but this year I wanted to mix things up a bit and this easy cheesy cornflake potato casserole was born.
It was great having some crispy texture on top of all the richness of the potatoes other sides, and I’m positive we’ll be making it again for Christmas.
I used a mandolin to slice the potatoes paper thin. Then tossed them in a rich creamy and cheesy sauce.
They held up in the fridge beautifully overnight and then topped them with cornflakes right before popping them in the oven.
Here’s how to make them-
