Ingredients
Casserole
- 2 pounds Frozen hashbrowns (thawed)
- ½ cup Butter (melted)
- ¼ cup Green onions (chopped)
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)

- In a large bowl combine ½ cup of melted butter with hashbrowns. Add green onions and cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually add warm milk, whisking until the milk is incorporated and the sauce has thickened. Turn off the heat and add the sour cream, whisking until incorporated. Add salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the potato mixture and stir until combined. Place in a casserole dish.

Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Warm the milk for 30 seconds in the microwave before adding to the butter and flour mixture. It will speed things up.
- Make sure the hashbrowns are thawed. You can thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or 30 minutes on the counter.
- If making ahead, wait to add the cornflake mixture until right before baking.
