Ingredients

  • Pork Chops: 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick. These provide a juicy and flavorful main protein.
  • Olive Oil: 3 tablespoons. Used for searing the pork chops to create a golden brown crust.
  • Butter: 4 tablespoons, divided. Adds richness to both the pork chops and the potato bake.
  • Garlic: 4 cloves, minced. Provides a robust, aromatic flavor to the dish.
  • Fresh Thyme: 2 sprigs. Adds a fresh, herbal note.
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste. Essential for seasoning the pork chops and potatoes.
  • Fresh Parsley: For garnish (optional). Adds a touch of color and freshness.
  • Potatoes: 4-5 medium, thinly sliced. Create the base of the cheesy potato bake.
  • Onion: 1 medium, thinly sliced. Adds sweetness and depth to the potato bake.
  • Cheddar Cheese: 2 cups, shredded. Provides a creamy and cheesy topping for the potatoes.
  • Milk: 1 cup. Helps create a creamy sauce for the potatoes.
  • Sour Cream: 1/2 cup. Adds tanginess and creaminess to the potato bake.
  • Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon. Adds additional garlic flavor to the potatoes.

Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the cooked onions. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of sour cream. Cook over medium heat until warmed through. Pour this mixture evenly over the potatoes. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Cook the Pork Chops
While the potatoes are baking, season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
Step 5: Prepare the Garlic Butter
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 2 sprigs of fresh thyme. Cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter over them.
Step 6: Combine and Bake
Remove the foil from the potatoes and place the browned pork chops on top. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the pork chops and potatoes. Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the pork chops are cooked through.
Step 7: Serve
Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious Garlic Butter Pork Chops with Cheesy Potato Bake!
