For the Beef Chops:

- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Cheesy Potato Bake:
- 4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Potato Bake:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the dish. Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, pepper, and some thyme or rosemary.
- Pour a little cream over the potatoes and sprinkle some cheddar and mozzarella.
- Repeat layers until potatoes and cheese are used up, finishing with cheese on top.
- Dot the top with small butter pieces.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 more minutes or until golden and bubbly.
2. Cook the Beef Chops:
- While potatoes bake, season beef chops with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chops 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking.
- Lower heat and add butter and garlic to the pan. Spoon the garlic butter over the chops for 1–2 minutes to baste and infuse flavor.
3. Serve:
- Plate the beef chops alongside a generous serving of cheesy potato bake.
- Spoon any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the meat.
📝 Tips & Variations
- Use smoked gouda or gruyère for a different cheesy flavor in the potato bake.
- Add caramelized onions or cooked bacon to the potatoes for extra richness.
- Let beef chops rest a few minutes before serving for juicier results.
