Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet, brown the chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, then set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft.
Sprinkle flour over onion and garlic, stir for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add milk and chicken broth, stirring until sauce thickens.
In a greased casserole dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, half of the onion sauce, and half of the cheddar cheese.
Repeat layering with remaining potatoes, sauce, and cheese.
Sprinkle paprika over the top and arrange the pork chops on the casserole. Cover tightly with foil.
Bake covered for 1 hour, then uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until cheese is browned.
Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.

Notes

Perfectly browned pork chops and proper layering are key to a successful casserole. Allow resting time for better serving.
