Perfect! Pork chops and potatoes is a classic, hearty, and simple meal. You can make it in one pan, the oven, or even a slow cooker. Here’s a simple and flavorful method:
One-Pan Pork Chops and Potatoes
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges or cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 onion, sliced
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
- 400°F (200°C) if baking in the oven.
- Season Pork and Potatoes
- In a bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, half the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Rub pork chops with remaining oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange in Pan
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan.
- Place pork chops on top or alongside.
- Add onion slices if using. Dot with butter for extra flavor.
- Bake
- 35–45 minutes, or until pork reaches 145°F internally and potatoes are tender.
- Flip pork chops halfway through for even browning.
- Serve
- Spoon pan juices over pork and potatoes for extra flavor.
Stovetop Version
- Sear pork chops 3–4 min per side in a skillet with olive oil. Remove and set aside.
- Cook potato wedges in the same skillet until golden and tender.
- Return pork chops to the skillet, cover, and cook 5–10 more minutes until done.
💡 Tips
- For crispier potatoes, parboil them 5 min before baking.
- Add garlic cloves or rosemary sprigs to the pan for an aromatic boost.
- For a creamy twist, drizzle a little heavy cream over potatoes in the last 10 minutes of baking.
