- 8 large potatoes
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimientos, drained
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes
- Place potatoes and bay leaves in a Dutch oven or large kettle; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature. Place in the freezer (still covered by the cooking water) for 1 hour.

Combine the sour cream, soup, 1 cup cheese, pimientos and onion; spread over potatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese; top with cornflakes (dish will be full). Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until bubbly.
