- 2 cups milk

- 2 cups sour cream can also use plain greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large 13x8-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and saute until translucent; about 4-5 minutes. Add remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add flour and whisk to combine.
- Add the milk to the flour (roux) mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickened; 5-6 minutes.
- Once thickened, add chicken bouillon and stir well until completely combined. Add the remaining seasonings. Turn heat off and set aside to cool for 4-5 minutes.
- While cooling, pour the frozen shredded potatoes into a large bowl and stir in the sour cream.
- Stir 2 cups shredded cheese into the sauce until completely melted. Pour over the potatoes and stir to coat. Pour potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly. Top with corn flakes and a ½ cup shredded cheese.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
