Ingredients:
- 5 medium-sized white or Yukon Gold potatoes (around 900g or 2 lbs)
- 5 pork chops
- 1 onion, chopped or sliced
- 240 ml (1 cup) of whole milk
- 720 ml (3 cups) of shredded Cheddar cheese
- 45g (3 tbsp) of unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper as per your taste
- Optional: Chives, green onions, seasoning salt, and garlic salt for added flavor.
How to Make Scalloped Potatoes with Pork Chops ?
Start by peeling and cutting the potatoes into ¼-inch thick slices and dividing the onion into eighths.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, toss together the sliced potatoes, onions, shredded Cheddar cheese, milk, and optional seasonings until they are thoroughly mixed.
Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Slice the butter evenly and scatter the slices over the potato mixture.
Arrange the pork chops on top of the potato-cheese mix.
Bake for about 50-55 minutes at 350°F (175°C), flipping the pork chops halfway to ensure uniform cooking.
Make sure the pork chops are no longer pink and the potatoes are tender by testing them with a fork. If required, extend the baking time by another 15 minutes. If the potatoes need more cooking time, but the pork is done, cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the pork from drying out.
Once cooked, allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes:
This recipe is flexible and allows for some substitutions. You can substitute whole milk with cream for a richer flavor. Similarly, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese based on your preference.
There you have it, the perfect recipe! Enjoy this flavorful, comfort-food classic that’s sure to become a staple in your home, just as it has in ours. Bon appétit!
