The Complete Shopping Rundown
For this Pork Chop Supreme, you gotta grab 6 boneless pork chops. This cut cooks fast and stays juicy, perfect for your pressure cooker.
Next up is 2 tablespoons of olive oil to brown those chops and add flavor. Don't skip this step, it makes a big difference.
Then get 4 medium potatoes peeled and thinly sliced. They soak up all that yummy sauce and get tender just right.
You'll wanna pick up a packet of French onion soup mix along with a can of cream of onion soup. These bring loads of taste without much fuss.
Pour in a quarter cup of milk to make the sauce creamy. Lastly salt and pepper to taste, gotta season it well!
Walking Through Every Single Move
First, you preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This is for the final baking after pressure cooking.
Grab a large skillet and heat up the olive oil over medium heat. You’re gonna brown the pork chops here.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Don’t be shy with the seasoning.
Place the chops in the skillet and brown ’em about 3 to 4 minutes each side. You want a nice crust but no need to cook through.
In your baking dish layer half the sliced potatoes on the bottom. Spread ’em out so they cook evenly.
Mix French onion soup mix, cream of onion soup, and milk in a bowl real good. Pour half the soup over the potatoes.
Now place those brown pork chops right on top of the potatoes in the dish. Then layer the rest of the sliced potatoes on top of the pork.
Pour the leftover soup mixture over the top. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
Bake for 45 minutes until the potatoes are tender and pork is cooked through. Remove the foil and pop it back in the oven 10 more minutes to brown things up nice.
Let your Pork Chop Supreme rest about 5 minutes before serving. This lets juices settle so each bite’s juicy and rich.
Quick Tricks That Save Your Time
- Slice potatoes thin and even so they cook faster and more uniform.
- Use quick release on your pressure cooker once it finishes to keep veggies from overcooking.
- Brown pork chops in batches if your skillet’s small to get good crust without crowding.

What It Tastes Like Fresh From the Pot
From the first bite, you notice the pork chops are juicy with a tender crumb that falls apart easy. The browning adds a savory edge that lingers just right on your tongue.
The potatoes soak up all the creamy, onion-flavored broth depth making them soft but with a slight bite. They kinda taste like mashed potatoes met a thick soup and fell in love.
The whole dish smells of sweet caramelized onions mixed with rich broth and hints of olive oil. It’s a warm, comforting flavor that makes you wanna go back for seconds.

Smart Storage That Actually Works
Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They last well for up to 3 days and reheat nicely without losing moisture.
If you wanna keep it longer, you can freeze the dish too. Use a freezer-safe container and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheat gently on medium heat or in your microwave with a little splash of broth or water added. This brings the pork and potatoes back to life without drying out.
Your Most Asked Questions Answered
- Can I use bone-in pork chops? You totally can but they might need a few more minutes to cook through.
- What if I don’t have cream of onion soup? You could mix cream of mushroom with extra onion soup mix for a similar taste.
- Do I gotta peel the potatoes? Peeling helps with smooth texture but leaving skins on adds fiber and a rustic look.
- How do I know when my pressure cooker is done? The float valve will pop up and you’ll see steady steam cues; when that’s done, follow recommended cooking time.
- What’s the difference between quick release and slow release? Quick release drops pressure fast to stop cooking; slow release lets pressure ease down to finish gently.
- Can I add other veggies? Totally, just keep in mind cooking times. Carrots or green beans go well but might need to be cut small.
