Effortless Pork Chops With Scalloped Potatoes is the perfect weeknight meal, combining seasoned pork chops with creamy, cheesy scalloped potatoes. Quick, simple, and satisfying, this dish brings comfort to busy evenings without sacrificing flavor.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 45 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. Layer half of the sliced potatoes and onions in the baking dish, season with salt and pepper, then repeat with the remaining layers.
  4. Pour heavy cream over the layers, sprinkle cheese on top, arrange pork chops, and drizzle melted butter.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until pork and potatoes are done.
  6. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving and garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Slice potatoes uniformly for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking dish; use two if necessary.
  • Experiment with cheeses like Gruyere or Parmesan.
  • If cheese browns too fast, cover with foil towards the end.
  • Sauté onions with garlic for added flavor if desired.
