    Pour mixture from the bowl into the pan and spread evenly with a spoon. Do not pack down tightly.
  • Buttered Corn Flakes added to the top of the potatoes.

    In a small bowl, mix together Corn Flakes and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix together and spread on top of casserole.
  • Casserole baking in the oven.
    Step 6
    Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes without a lid. The top should be lightly browned when done.
