Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the sliced potatoes in a single layer at the bottom of the baking dish. Season with salt, pepper, and half of the dried thyme.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. They don't need to be cooked through at this point.
  4. Place the seared pork chops over the potatoes in the baking dish. Scatter the sliced onions and minced garlic around the pork chops.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth and heavy cream. Pour this mixture evenly over the potatoes and pork chops.
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Choose russet potatoes for best results; don't skip searing the pork chops for extra flavor; slice potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
