Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet, heat 1/4 cup of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and brown them until they are golden on both sides.
After browning, drain any excess oil from the skillet and set the pork chops aside.
In a medium casserole dish, create a layer of thinly sliced potatoes. Season the potato layer with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
Place the browned pork chops evenly on top of the sliced potatoes, making sure that they cover the potatoes well.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Lipton onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
