After all, what defines comfort better than tender pork chops smothered in creamy, cheesy potatoes? Serve this pork chop casserole with potatoes as is or with a light arugula and pear salad on the side.

🤷🏻‍♀️ Recipe FAQs

What's best to eat with pork chops?

Pork chops can be served with various sides including potatoes (as in this recipe). A vegetable option on the side is always a great idea. Besides salad, you can also have steamed or roasted vegetables on the side.

Do you bake pork chops covered or uncovered?

It's always a good idea to cover pork chops with foil while baking them. This ensures that the pork chops will be tender and juicy.

In this recipe, we begin by covering the pork chops as they bake and uncovering them for the last five minutes or so, until the French-fried onions are brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.

👩🏼‍🍳 Pro Tips

There are many variations of this oven baked pork chops with potatoes recipe online. Many use thinly sliced potatoes instead of hash browns.
You can also shred fresh potatoes to make your own hashbrowns. I would recommend partially frying the potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients.
Instead of French Fried onions, you can use caramelized onions.
Cream of chicken, broccoli, or asparagus can be used instead of cream of mushroom soup.
If you want to be extra naughty, add some crumbled bacon to the hashbrown mix!
