Ingredients

6 pork chops bone-in or boneless
2 tbsp olive oil for searing
6 cups potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
1 cup milk whole or 2%
1 cup heavy cream
1 onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp salt divided
1/2 tsp black pepper divided
1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with half the salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Set aside.
In a saucepan, heat a bit of oil and sauté onion and garlic until softened. Stir in milk and cream, then bring to a simmer. Season with remaining salt and pepper.
Layer half the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Pour over half of the cream mixture and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.
Add remaining potatoes, pour over the rest of the cream mixture, and top with the remaining cheese.
Place seared pork chops on top. Cover dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

Try using a blend of cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack for added creaminess.
