- Heat Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the Pork Chops on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté Onions and Garlic until translucent.
- Sprinkle Flour over the Onion mixture, stirring constantly to create a roux.
- Gradually add Milk and then Chicken Broth, stirring until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

- Repeat with remaining Potatoes, sauce, and Cheese. Sprinkle Paprika on top.
- Place browned Pork Chops on the casserole. Spoon some of the sauce over the Chops. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until Pork is fully cooked (165°F) and Potatoes are fork tender.

Notes
Potatoes are Fork Tender when a slice can be easily pierced with a fork yet still retain its shape.
