Melt half a stick of butter in a pan.

Add diced sweet onion and sauté until tender and fragrant, seasoning with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Once onions are done, turn off the heat and add cornflake crumbs to the pan, mixing to coat them in the butter.

In a large baking dish (9 by 13 inch or lasagna pan), combine thawed frozen cubed potatoes, sour cream, cream of celery soup, remaining butter, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Mix everything together until well combined.

If preparing ahead, cover and refrigerate this mixture overnight, but do not add the topping until just before baking.

Before baking, add the cornflake crumb topping over the potato mixture.

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or for 1 hour if refrigerated overnight.
