  13. 1 tsphot sauce such as Frank’s Hot Sauce
  14. 1/2 cupgrated parmesan cheese
  15. 1-2chopped green onions for garnish

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    In a large saucepan cover potatoes with chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until tender but still firm. About 12-15 minutes. Drain and cool and slice 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Heat a film of oil in a large skillet. Season pork chops. I used cajun seasoning. Sear on high heat and brown pork chops on both sides. Remove to a plate.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet add onion and a little butter and cook until just softened. Remove to a plate.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet add the butter and melt. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in the flour. Continue mixing for 2 minutes. If it seems dry that is ok. Add wine and cook for 1 minute or until the liquid is gone.

  5. 5

    Whisk in broth to get a smooth consistency. Add cream, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil and slightly thicken. 5-10 minutes. Stir in cheese. You can continue to cook to thicken the sauce but keep in mind that the sauce will thicken when you put it in the oven.

  6. 6

    Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray. Put some sauce in pan, add the first layer layer of potatoes and then add the first layer of onions. Cover with sauce.

  7. 7

    Repeat the process for the second layer. Top with the pork chops. Cover with aluminum foil and place in a 400°F oven. Cook for 20-40 minutes depending on the thickness of your pork chops and how much you cooked the chops while searing them. You want the internal temperature to be 145°F. I like to use an internal temperature probe to monitor the temperature. Don’t overcook.

  8. 8

    Garnish with green onions, Serve and enjoy. Fresh tomatoes and corn go great with this dish.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
