Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and use a mandoline or knife to slice them into thin, even rounds. Set aside.
Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Season the pork chops on both sides with half of the salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sliced onions, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring until the mixture is combined and forms a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Then, add the heavy cream and stir until the sauce is thickened. Season with the remaining salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Layer half of the potato slices at the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly. Spoon half of the onion-cream mixture over the potatoes, spreading it evenly. Repeat with remaining potatoes and sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer of potatoes.
Nestle the seared pork chops on top of the potatoes, pressing them slightly into the mixture.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender, the cheese is golden, and the pork chops are fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pork Chops with Scalloped Potatoes and Onions!
