Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Add the cooked potatoes to the bowl and gently fold them into the mixture until well coated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the potato mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top and, if desired, sprinkle with crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For a spicy twist, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a handful of chopped jalapeños. You can also use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for a lighter version.
