Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Add cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, beaten eggs, and onion to the mashed potatoes.
Spoon mashed potato mixture into a greased 9X13 baking dish or oven-safe casserole dish.
Sprinkle the top with a mixture of crushed cornflake crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
