Ingredients
For the Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops:
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
For the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
- 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Scalloped Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
- Grease a baking dish and layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
2. Cook the Pork Chops:
- While the potatoes are baking, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chops are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
3. Serve:
- Plate the pork chops alongside a generous serving of cheesy scalloped potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Recommendations
- Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- For extra flavor, consider adding cooked bacon or sautéed onions to the scalloped potatoes.
