PORK CHOPS WITH SCALLOPED POTATOES

ngredients:

• 5 potatoes, white or Yukon Gold

• 5 pork chops

• 1 onion sliced or diced

• 1 cup whole milk

• 3 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded

• 3 tbsp butter, unsalted

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: I add chives or green onions, a sprinkle of seasoning salt and a pinch of garlic salt to boost the bland flavor

Instructions:

• Peel and slice the potatoes, no more than ¼ inch each slice

• Peel and quarter the onion, split each quarter in half

• Use a block of Cheddar Cheese, shred it freshly

• Preheat the oven to 350*

• Spray a baking dish

• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onions, cheese and the milk, I also add in the seasonings at this time

• Mix all together to combine well

• Put this mix into the prepared baking pan

• Slice the butter into equal slices and lay on top of the potato mix

• Place the pork chops on top of the cheese and potato mixture

• Bake for 50 to 55 minutes at 350*

• Halfway through the cooking time, flip the pork chops over

• Check the pork to ensure it is no longer pink, if it is, continue baking for another 15 minutes.

• Stab the potatoes with a fork to check for tenderness. If they also need longer, cover the baking pan with aluminum foil to prevent the meat from drying out.
