Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Add broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside. In a large skillet, brown pork chops in oil; sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.
2. In a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, layer potatoes and onion. Pour broth mixture over layers. Place pork chops on top.
3. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour; uncover (this is when my mum would add the cream if mushroom soup) and bake 30 minutes longer or until meat and potatoes are tender.
If desired, sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
