Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil and sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side.
In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Sprinkle in flour and stir to form a roux.
Gradually pour in milk and chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer until thickened for 3-5 minutes.
In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, half of the sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and cheese, topped with paprika.
Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
