Instructions

1. Preheat oven:

   • 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare potatoes:

3. Season pork chops:

   • Rub pork chops with remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

4. Arrange for baking:

   • Nestle pork chops among the potatoes on the baking sheet.

   • Optional: pour chicken broth around the edges to keep everything moist.

   • Bake for 25–35 minutes, until pork chops reach 145°F internal temperature and potatoes are tender.

   • Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden crust on the pork and potatoes.

6. Serve:

   • Let pork chops rest 3–5 minutes before serving.

   • Serve potatoes alongside, drizzled with pan juices.

💡 Tips:

• Use bone-in chops for more flavor and juiciness.

• You can add vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for a complete sheet-pan meal.

• For extra flavor, marinate pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before baking.

I can also provide a slow cooker version where the pork chops and potatoes become incredibly tender and infused with flavor. Do you want that version?
