Ingredients:
- 2 pork chops
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream Directions:
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. Season your pork chops with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika, and then sear them in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Once done, set them aside. Using the same skillet, give the garlic a quick sauté until it becomes fragrant. In a baking dish, layer your thinly sliced potatoes. Drizzle the garlic butter all over the potatoes, making sure everything is nicely coated. Then, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and pour in the heavy cream. Pop the dish into the oven and let it bake for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and tender. Finally, serve the flavorful pork chops alongside the cheesy potato bake and enjoy a delightful and comforting meal!
