Ingredients:

For the Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops:

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

For the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish for the scalloped potatoes.

Make the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Layer the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, then pour the cream mixture over them. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese over the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden brown.

Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops:
While the scalloped potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, then place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Serve:
Serve the garlic Parmesan pork chops alongside the cheesy scalloped potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, colorful touch. Enjoy this mouth-watering dinner combination that’s sure to please your family and friends!
