This easy recipe uses a creamy sauce made with cheddar, milk, and optional heavy cream, making it a satisfying meal. Add-ons like bacon or Dijon mustard can take the flavors to the next level.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pork Chops:

  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Scalloped Potatoes:

  • 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced (russet or Yukon gold)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and Gruyère)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Optional Add-ons/Variations:

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (stir into cream sauce)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (for a crispy topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pork Chops:

    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Season pork chops with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. Prepare the Scalloped Potatoes:

    • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
    • Slowly whisk in milk and heavy cream (if using), cooking until thickened, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir in cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using) until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.
    • Layer half the sliced potatoes and onions in a greased baking dish. Pour half the cream sauce over the potatoes. Repeat with remaining potatoes and sauce.

  3. Combine and Bake:

    • Place the seared pork chops on top of the potatoes. Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
    • Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add crumbled bacon or Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
  • For a crispy topping, use breadcrumbs or extra cheese on top of the potatoes.
