Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the Pork Chops:
Season the pork chops well with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, thyme, oregano, and paprika. Firmly press this mixture onto both sides of the pork chops to coat thoroughly.
Cook the Pork Chops:
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they’re nicely browned. Then, move the pork chops to the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the milk while continuously whisking until the mixture thickens.
Add the cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Place the sliced potatoes in the baking dish around the pork chops, and pour the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes.
Bake:
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the pork chops are cooked through.
Serve:
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
