INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops

  1. Season the Pork Chops: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
  2. Sear the Pork Chops: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. They do not need to be fully cooked at this stage, as they will finish cooking in the oven. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Scalloped Potatoes

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Make the Cheese Sauce:
    • In the same skillet used for the pork chops, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, creating a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
    • Stir in the salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  3. Layer the Potatoes and Onions: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Arrange half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the dish, followed by a layer of sliced onions. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes and onions. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese sauce.

Step 3: Bake the Dish

  1. Add the Pork Chops: Place the seared pork chops on top of the layered potatoes and cheese sauce in the baking dish.
  2. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
    • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
  3. Let It Rest: Allow the dish to rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and makes it easier to serve.
