Ingredients
Scale
For the Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
For the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
- 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish for the scalloped potatoes. - Make the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Layer the thinly sliced potatoes in the greased baking dish and pour the cream mixture over them. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden brown. - Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops:
While the potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the pork chops and allow it to melt. - Serve:
Serve the pork chops alongside the cheesy scalloped potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy this delicious and comforting meal!
Notes
- Bone-in pork chops are recommended for juicier, more flavorful meat. You can substitute with boneless chops, but cooking times may vary.
- You can make the scalloped potatoes ahead of time by preparing the dish up to the baking step, then refrigerating. Bake it when ready!
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Gruyère or Monterey Jack would also work wonderfully.
