Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Slice the onion into thin rings and set aside.
Season the pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux.
Gradually add the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly to remove any lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the garlic powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Top the potato layer with half of the onion slices, followed by half of the cheese sauce, spreading it evenly.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese sauce.
Place the seared pork chops on top of the potato mixture. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Let rest for 5 minutes before plating.
