  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  3. Remove from heat and add the shredded potatoes, stir to coat completely.

Notes

  • Tip 1: You can use freshly shredded potatoes in place of the frozen variety and reduce cooking time to 30 minutes.
  • Tip 2: If you want to freeze the casserole, do so before adding the corn flakes. Before baking add the topping and increase baking time till the center is hot and bubbly.
