Assemble the casserole
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 13×9-inch baking dish. Layer the sliced potatoes and onions evenly over the bottom of the dish. Pour the gravy over the layers, then arrange the seared pork chops on top. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
Step 4: Bake the casserole
Bake the pork chops and scalloped potatoes for one hour. Remove the foil from the pan and bake the casserole for an additional 30 minutes until the pork chops and scalloped potatoes are tender. If you’d like, garnish the casserole with paprika and chopped fresh parsley.
Editor’s Tip: If you’re using thin pork chops, lean pork loin or boneless chops, the long bake time could dry them out. To prevent this, bake the scalloped potatoes alone for the first hour, then add the pork chops to the top for the last 30 minutes of baking. Some readers have also had success baking the pork chops under the scalloped potatoes!

Pork Chops and Scalloped Potatoes Variations
Add spices: Make baked pork chops and potatoes even tastier with more seasoning. Add a dash of garlic powder, Southwest spice blend, smoked paprika, crushed rosemary or rubbed sage.
Make it with bacon: Cook diced bacon in the skillet before or after searing the pork chops. Drain the bacon, then layer it into the casserole with the potatoes and onions.
Go for au gratin: To make this similar to au gratin scalloped potatoes, add a generous layer of grated cheese (Parmesan, cheddar and Gruyere all pair well with pork) after layering the potatoes, onions and gravy into the dish. Add the pork chops and bake the casserole as directed.
How to Store Pork Chops and Scalloped Potatoes
Let the oven-baked pork chops and potatoes cool completely, then cover the dish tightly. Store it in the fridge for up to four days. To reheat the casserole, cover the pan with foil and place it in a 350° oven for about 30 minutes or until heated through. You can also refrigerate individual portions in airtight storage containers, then use a microwave to reheat them.
