Creamy Potato and Bacon Casserole with Crispy Cornflake Topping

Ingredients

- 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon mixed dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano)
- 1 cup cornflakes, crushed
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Potato Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, chopped onion, heavy cream, sour cream, olive oil, minced garlic, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.

3. Layer the Casserole
In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread half of the potato mixture in an even layer. Sprinkle half the crumbled bacon and half the cheddar cheese over the layer. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, bacon, and cheese.

4. Add Cornflake Topping
Evenly spread the crushed cornflakes over the top of the potato and cheese mixture.

5. Bake the Casserole
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

6. Garnish and Serve
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
