Description
The best homemade cheesy hashbrown potato casserole with cornflakes on top.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound frozen hashbrowns (don’t need to be thawed)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 batch homemade cream of chicken soup (recipe below) or 1 can of Campbell’s cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup crushed cornflakes
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
Cream of chicken:
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- Pinch of salt and white pepper
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl stir together the hashbrowns, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, half of the cheese, kosher salt, pepper and cream of chicken soup. Scrape the mixture into a pot-in-pot dish (I used a Fat Daddios 7 inch by 3 inch cake pan).
- Pour 1 cup water into bottom of Instant Pot. Place the pot-in-pot dish on top of a sling/trivet and lower into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 20 minutes (if using homemade cream of chicken) or 25 minutes (if using canned cream of chicken).
- When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid after the pressure is released. Remove the pot-in-pot dish and set aside. Dump the water out of the bottom of the Instant Pot and dry it out.
- Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of the hashbrown mixture. Then sprinkle the cornflakes on top. Drizzle with the melted butter. Lower the pot-in-pot dish back into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Cover with the air fryer lid. Set the air fryer function to 400 degrees for 3-5 minutes. (If you don’t have an air fryer lid then place the pan in the oven under the broiler for 3-5 minutes).
- Once cornflakes are browned up serve the potatoes and enjoy!
How to make homemade cream of chicken:
- In a saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk well. Stir in the broth and the milk. Whisk often until thickened.
- Stir in a pinch of salt and pepper.
Notes
Oven directions: You can also make these potatoes in the oven. Scrape the mixture into a 8×8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the cornflakes and drizzle butter over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes (homemade cream of chicken) or 45 minutes (canned cream of chicken).
