Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Place Potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
While potatoes are cooking, prepare the Cheese Sauce. In a large saucepan, melt Butter over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar Cheese, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, and Pepper until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
Place cooked Potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Pour Cheese Sauce over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine crushed Cornflakes and Melted Butter. Sprinkle evenly over the potatoes.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
