Description
A delicious and hearty dish featuring tender smothered pork chops layered with creamy scalloped potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups thinly sliced potatoes (about 4 medium potatoes)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, heavy cream, chicken broth, thyme, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the potato mixture on the bottom. Place the seared pork chops on top, then layer the remaining potatoes over the chops.
- Pour any remaining liquid from the bowl over the top and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add a layer of cream cheese between the potato layers.
- You can substitute the pork chops with boneless chicken thighs for a different flavor profile.
