Ingredients and Preparation
Creating this culinary gem is a breeze. Here's what you'll need:

- 2 lbs (900g) potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups (160g) corn flakes, crushed
- 1 cup (115g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 2 tbsp (28g) butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by boiling the diced potatoes until tender. While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Stir in the milk and bring to a simmer. Add the cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and return them to the pot. Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes and gently stir to combine. Transfer the potatoes to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes evenly over the top.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the corn flakes are golden brown and crispy. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
