Farmer's Pork Chops

Farmer's Pork Chops 8 medium potatoes 1⁄2 medium onion salt and pepper, to taste White sauce 8 tablespoons butter 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour 1 -2 teaspoon salt 1⁄2-3⁄4 teaspoon pepper 4 cups whole milk 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional) or 1⁄4 cup chives Chops 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt 8 center-cut pork chops, about 1/2 inch thick 1⁄3 cup vegetable oil Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel potatoes, slice 1/4 inch thick and cover with cold water. Slice onion into very thin slices. Cut slices in half. Make The White Sauce:. Melt butter; remove from heat. Stir in flour and add salt and pepper. Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly. Add milk, 1 cup at a time. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer 1 to 2 minutes, then let stand at least 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in parsley or chives, if desired. Drain potatoes. Layer half the potatoes in a well-greased 15 x 10 inch casserole dish(I use 9 x 13 and it's fine). Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Scatter half of onion slices on top of potatoes. Repeat with remaining potatoes and onions. Cover potatoes with white sauce. Cover casserole dish with plastic wrap and microwave for 5 minutes on high OR bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Mix together flour and seasoned salt and dredge pork chops in flour mixture. Lightly brown chops in vegetable oil. *Do not cook them completely*. As chops are removed from frying pan, lay them on top of the potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes. The juices from the pork chops will drip down into the potatoes and taste oh-so-yummy!
