Pork Chops with Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Scalloped Potatoes:

• 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups heavy cream (or milk)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Pork Chops:

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary) for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Scalloped Potatoes:

• In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes and half of the sliced onions. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Repeat with the remaining potatoes and onions.
• Pour the heavy cream over the potatoes, making sure they are evenly coated.
• Dot the top with butter and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

3. Bake the Potatoes:

• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

4. Cook the Pork Chops:

• While the potatoes are baking, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).

5. Serve:

• Once the pork chops are cooked, serve them alongside the scalloped potatoes.
• Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
