Next, spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and evenly spread the potato mixture inside the dish.

Now crush the cornflakes by placing them in a bag and using a rolling pin or your hands to crush them.

Then, mix the crushed cornflakes with the remaining 4 TB melted butter

Now, sprinkle the crushed cornflakes on top of the casserole.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit uncovered for 45-50 minutes.

Finally, sprinkle top with chopped chives.
