Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a pan.

Add 3 tablespoons of regular flour to the melted butter and mix together without browning it.

Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and mix to create a roux.

In a bowl or pan, add 5 cups of sliced potatoes and 1 chopped onion.

Season the potatoes and onions with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.

If the roux is too thick, add more chicken broth until desired consistency is reached.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Pour the roux mixture over the potatoes and onions, ensuring they are well covered.

In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil to cover the bottom.

Add the pork chops to the hot oil and brown them for a couple of minutes on each side.

Wrap the pork chops in foil and place them in the oven with the potatoes for about 1 hour.

After 1 hour, check if the potatoes are soft; if they are, remove the foil to allow the pork chops to brown further.
