      Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Lightly grease a large baking dish or casserole dish.<\/p>\n

      Step 2: Prepare the Scalloped Potatoes<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Wash, peel (optional), and thinly slice the potatoes. Try to keep the slices even so they cook uniformly.<\/li>\n
      2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.<\/li>\n
      3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds<\/strong> until fragrant.<\/li>\n
      4. Pour in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir and heat gently \u2014 do not boil.<\/li>\n
      5. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish.<\/li>\n
      6. Sprinkle with half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.<\/li>\n
      7. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes.<\/li>\n
      8. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cheese, and cream mixture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        Step 3: Season the Pork Chops<\/h3>\n

        While the potatoes are baking:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.<\/li>\n
        2. Rub both sides with olive oil.<\/li>\n
        3. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.<\/li>\n
        4. Press minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese evenly onto both sides of each pork chop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Step 4: Add Pork Chops to the Dish<\/h3>\n

          After the potatoes have baked for 30 minutes, remove the foil.<\/p>\n

          Nestle the seasoned pork chops on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle any remaining Parmesan over the top.<\/p>\n

          Step 5: Bake Until Perfect<\/h3>\n

          Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for 25\u201330 minutes<\/strong>, or until:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145\u00b0F (63\u00b0C)<\/strong><\/li>\n
          • Potatoes are fork-tender<\/li>\n
          • Cheese is melted and lightly golden on top<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            If needed, broil for 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong> at the end for a crispier Parmesan crust.<\/p>\n

            Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n

            Let the dish rest for 5 minutes<\/strong> before serving.<\/p>\n

            Serve with:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Steamed green beans or broccoli<\/li>\n
            • A fresh garden salad<\/li>\n
            • Warm dinner rolls or crusty bread<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color and freshness.<\/p>\n

              Storage and Reheating<\/h2>\n
                \n
              • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
              • Reheat in the oven at 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong> until warmed through.<\/li>\n
              • Avoid microwaving pork chops for too long to keep them juicy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                • Use bone-in pork chops for extra flavor and moisture.<\/li>\n
                • Slice potatoes thinly so they cook evenly.<\/li>\n
                • Let pork chops rest after baking to lock in juices.<\/li>\n
                • Freshly grated Parmesan melts and tastes better than pre-packaged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
