Garlic Butter Pork Chops with Cheesy Potato Bake

Prep and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Prepare the Potatoes: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until translucent. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the cooked onions. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese.

Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sour cream. Cook over medium heat until warmed through. Pour this mixture evenly over the potatoes. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Cook the Pork Chops: While the potatoes are baking, season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
