Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the pork chops on one side in a skillet, then turn them over.
- Cover the chops with sliced potatoes and chopped onion.
- Add white sauce over the ingredients.
- Cover and cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender.
- Alternatively, use a pressure cooker on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking. If you don't have white sauce, a simple cream sauce or even a can of cream of mushroom soup can work as a substitute. Use any type of potato, but Yukon Gold or Russets will yield the best texture. For a touch of sweetness, you might add some sliced carrots.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with steamed green vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. Consider serving it alongside Wester Baked Beans for a hearty combination. A light vinaigrette can complement the richness of the pork and potatoes. For a complete experience, serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water to prevent drying out. Cover to steam the potatoes and allow them to heat through evenly. Alternatively, you can reheat in the microwave, covered, for about 2-3 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, boneless pork chops can be used, but be aware that they may cook faster than bone-in chops. Adjust your cooking time accordingly to ensure they remain juicy and tender.
What can I substitute for the white sauce?
If you don't have white sauce on hand, you can substitute with a can of cream of chicken soup or a homemade mixture of sour cream and milk. This will still provide a creamy texture and enhance the overall flavor.
Can I add other vegetables to the dish?
Absolutely! Feel free to add sliced carrots, bell peppers, or even green beans for added nutrition and color. Just make sure to cut them into similar sizes as the potatoes for even cooking.
