Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season your bone-in pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
  3. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle in flour to create a roux. Gradually pour in milk and chicken broth, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom of a greased casserole dish, pour half of the onion-garlic sauce over, and sprinkle with half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  5. Place the browned pork chops on top of the casserole, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour.
  6. After 1 hour, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and potatoes are tender.
  7. Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.
