Cook Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

This recipe was developed at its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly.

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 pork chops (1/2-inch thick), trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon pepper
  • 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium onions, sliced
  • 3 cubes beef bouillon
  • cup hot water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2: Coat the pork chops with flour, then place them in the skillet. Brown the pork chops for about 4 minutes on each side until golden.

Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Step 4: Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese mixture over the browned pork chops.

Step 5: Layer the pork chops with thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese mixture on top.

Step 6: Add sliced onions on top of the potatoes.

Step 7: In a small bowl, dissolve the beef bouillon cubes in hot water. Stir in the lemon juice, then pour the mixture over the layered pork chops.

Step 8: Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and gently simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145F (63C).

Cooks Note

You can use chicken bouillon for a lighter broth, or for a creamier texture, stir in some sour cream into the broth before serving.

This dish pairs perfectly with a simple green salad or green beans.

OK, I saw this recipe this morning, thought about it all day and came home and made it. And it managed to live up to all that expectation! A couple of little tweaks and a twist: I coated the chops in cornstarch (as I'm gluten-free), browned them, moved them aside and then sauted the onions. Then I left the onions on the BOTTOM, put the chops back on, then the potatoes, which I sliced with a mandoline, so they were nice and thin. The whole thing was simply delicious, a perfect late fall hearty dish. Going right into heavy rotation. Thanks for it!

I needed a recipe that could cook on it's own while I was at class. I tweaked this a bit and WOW! It's very easy and super delicious. I used boneless pork loin. Browned in skillet. Layered the ingredients as instructed in a casserole dish. Deglazed skillet with beef broth and poured over potatoes and onions. Placed in a 300° oven for 2 hours covered with foil. The meat was fork tender and the sauce was to die for. Thanks for sharing.

Really like the one skillet method of this dish and it is very good with some minor changes! 3 cubes bouillon/3/4 C water will be overwhelming in salt and trust me, I love my salt! Ratio is usually 1 cube + 1 cup water. I subbed beef bouillon/water with 1 cup veg. broth and would use beef broth if on hand (I'm GF and don't buy bouillon). So, maybe go 2 cubes/2 C water. Used GF All Purpose flour and would reduce to 1 T. Add some seasoning to the flour (garlic/onion powder) to give chops more flavor if desired. Next time, don't think I'll use flour and will lightly season chops. Sear chops both sides & remove from skillet. Added 1/4-1/2 cup broth to scrape up bits for flavor and removed to small bowl. Continued to follow recipe and sauteed 1 large red onion (sliced) in 1 T. Earth Balance butter (dairy free), placed chops on top of onions as others did. My yukon golds were little larger than avg. and increasing amount p/other reviews was unnecessary. Flavors great, but there is noticable cakey/flour coating. Top layer of potatoes took longer to cook. After extra 10 minutes cook time, removed chops to avoid overcooking and covered w/foil; potatoes took additional 15-20 min. to cook. 3 star rating due to overly salt flavor of bouillon/water combo, but will make again and adjust layering: Onions, cheese, potatoes, cheese, chops. Overall, great and will be a go to recipe in our household! Thank you for sharing the recipe!

This is a great tasting recipe, but it needs to be modified somehow. My potatoes were too soft, the chops were done, but not very tender. I always use bone-in chops so they need more cooking, but the potatoes needed less. After I assembled everything in the pan, I sprinkled more cheese on top. I think I need to cook the chops by themselves for about 15 min before putting in the potatoes. I'll cut them thicker, or cube them so they stay more firm. Instead of water and boullion, I used beef broth, no need to make it hot. One less step. Otherwise this is a keeper.

Made recipe as instructed, only changes I made used one onion, next time I will use two. Sliced potatoes and salt and peppered them, Cooked on stovetop and finished in 325 oven 1hr with lid (cover) and uncovered at 350 for 15 mins - I will also use more parmesan cheese about 1/2 cup or more. Chops were very tender-will definately make again - KEEPER - thanks chefjenwin

I added fresh carrots with the potatoes and onions. I also seasoned the chops before flouring them. I used some Season All, Paprika, Garlic and Onion powder, a little Rosemary. The gravy didn't thicken up as much as I'd hoped and was still a little bland. It's a keeper but needs more tweaking.

Can I please give this more than 5 stars? I tried this recipe last night. The only change was I used beef stock instead of bullion and water. I loved it. I was worried about hubby, though. He usually hates anything new. He wolfed down dinner, then asked me why I never made it for him before. Looks like I'll be making it for him again in the future. Maybe I'll doctor the recipe, but the first time, I wanted to make it as is.

This turned out delicious!!! I usually find pork chops super bland but this was really good. I put only 2 beef cubes and it was perfect and I put minced garlic as well. I did what a few other posters suggested, I browned the pork chops then removed them and softened the onions with some garlic and then put the pork chops on top of the onions followed by the parmesan mixture and the potatoes on top. Simmered for 30 mins and it was perfect. Will definetely do again.

This recipe was amazing!! I loved the flavor and tenderness of the potatoes. I made a few changes. I sautéed the onions in the pan drippings left by the pork chops until tender. Then I placed the pork chops over them, the parm cheese mixture, then the potatoes, and the remaining parm cheese. Then I sprinkled potatoes with paprika abc parsley. Delicious!!

I used pork steak instead of chops and I omitted the lemon juice. I spread about 1/2 tsp of minced garlic on top of the pork before I added everything else. Also added 1/2 tsp soy sauce to the beef broth. Very satisfied with the results. Will definitely be making this again!

Very good recipe. I did lay my fried pork chops on top of the sliced potatoes in my iron skillet. Seasoned potatoes well and covered with Parmesan cheese, then laid chops on top, added more parm, 1/2 large onion sliced and the liquid, beef bullion, water and lemon juice mixture. Covered with foil and baked in 375 degree oven for 40 minutes. Very tender and flavorful.

This has potential however I found the chops to be bland. I even seasoned them with kosher salt, pepper and paprika. The onions and potatoes had a bit more flavor but the sauce needs some adjustment.

We added a bit more seasoning to the porch chops. It turned out nicely.
