🍠 Ingredients

For the Scalloped Potatoes

4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Pork Chops:

4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

🔪 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  1. In a skillet, brown the pork chops on both sides for about 3–4 minutes each. Remove and set aside.

  2. In the same skillet, melt the butter, stir in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and cheese (if using).

  3. In a greased baking dish, layer half of the potatoes and onions. Pour half of the sauce over them.

  4. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce, then arrange the browned pork chops on top.

  5. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

  6. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.


🍽️ Serving Tips

Serve this dish with steamed green beans or a simple garden salad for a balanced meal. Leftovers taste even better the next day!
