Notes
Make Ahead: Assemble everything but the topping and place in a tightly covered baking dish in the fridge for 1-2 days. Before baking, remove the foil and top with the cornflakes. It may take an extra 5-10 minutes to cook through if baking straight from the fridge.Potatoes: You may thaw the frozen hash browns in the fridge overnight before adding to the casserole for a softer textured potato. We usually skip this step, but some people do prefer the texture of the potatoes after they've thawed.
