Notes

Use fresh potatoes. Prep 4-5 medium russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes.

Peel and dice potatoes. (You can choose to leave the skin on the Yukon Golds or peel them)
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot of boiling water. Cook them for about 5-6 minutes or until they become slightly tender but still hold their shape. DO NOT overcook them as they will continue cooking in the oven.
Drain the potatoes well and set them aside to cool slightly.
Use them in the recipe as directed.

Make ahead of time. Prepare the casserole as directed but don't add the cornflakes or bake it. Instead, cover the dish with plastic wrap and store overnight in the fridge, or wrap the dish tightly with plastic and again with foil and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw, if needed, add the cornflake topping and bake.
