- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- Stems from ½ oz bunch of fresh thyme
Skillet:
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into ¼” thick half-moons
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

- 6 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ¼” thick rounds
- 14 oz Perry’s pork chop, sliced into ½” thick pieces
Finish:

- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Make the seasoned cream:
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, 4 smashed garlic cloves, bouillon cube, garlic salt, pepper, both mustards, and thyme stems.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover, turn off the heat, and let steep for 15 minutes to infuse flavor.
Sauté the base:
- In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook for about 1 minute, just until they begin to soften.
- Add the sliced garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Stir in the thyme leaves briefly, then remove half the onion mixture and reserve.
Build:
- Spread half the sliced potatoes over the onions in the skillet.
- Layer the pork slices on top, followed by the reserved onions and mushrooms.
- Top with the remaining potatoes.
- Strain the cream and pour it evenly over everything.
Bake:
- Place the skillet uncovered in a 350°F oven and bake for 1 hour, until the potatoes are tender and the cream has reduced slightly.
Finish:
- Sprinkle cheddar over the top and return to the oven for 15 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
