I added some chicken stock, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet.

I stirred well and continued cooking for fifteen minutes.

I sprayed a 9 x 13 inch baking dish well with cooking spray.

Then I transferred the potato mixture to the baking dish and spread it out evenly.

I poured some crushed cornflakes into a mixing bowl.
