3. Gently fold in the thawed hash brown potatoes and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated.
4. Transfer the hash brown mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
5. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with a tablespoon of melted butter for extra crispiness. Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the casserole.
