Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3 tablespoons flour (1:1 gluten-free all-purpose may be used)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ¾ cups milk of choice (e.g., unsweetened plain cashew milk)
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 pound (32 ounces) packaged diced potatoes, thawed
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cubed sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups corn flakes cereal
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Whisk in the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbling.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously for 4–5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
- In the prepared baking dish, add the thawed diced potatoes. Pour in the sauce mixture, then add Greek yogurt, sour cream, shredded cheese, and cubed cheese. Stir to combine.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
- In the last 5 minutes of baking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and toss with corn flakes.
- Remove the casserole, top with corn flakes and extra shredded cheese if desired. Return to oven for 15 more minutes.
- Optional: Broil for the last 3–4 minutes for a crisp, golden top.
- Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- To make this fully gluten-free, ensure your flour and corn flakes are certified gluten-free.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt and sour cream for maximum creaminess.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven.
