Ingredients

To recreate this delicious meal, you will need the following ingredients:

6 bone-in pork chops

4 large potatoes, thinly sliced

1 large onion, thinly sliced

2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)

2 cups heavy cream

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops

Season the Pork Chops:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork chops, making sure they are evenly coated.

Sear the pork chops:

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the pork chops for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned. This helps seal in the juices and adds a delicious crust.

Step 2: Prepare the potatoes

Layer the potatoes and onions:

In a large baking dish, arrange the potatoes and sliced onions in an even layer.

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add the cheese:

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the potatoes and onions.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

Arrange Pork Chops:

Place the pan-fried pork chops on top of the potato and onion layer in the baking dish.
