Notes
You want to make sure the potatoes are THAWED before using. Either put them on the counter, 1 hour or more beforehand, to thaw or thaw in the microwave for about 5 minutes (I use the microwave).
I like my corn flakes to be really finely ground up so I throw them into the food processor/chopper along with the remaining shredded cheese. Then I sprinkle that on top.
