  1. Begin by slicing the Yukon gold or Russet potatoes and onions into thin rounds. Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and sauté the sliced onions and garlic until softened, around 3-4 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream.
  4. In a greased baking dish, layer the sliced potatoes, followed by the pork chops, and pour the creamy sauce evenly over the top.
  5. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 1 hour. Remove the foil in the last 20 minutes.
  6. After baking, let the casserole cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.
