  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • Ingredients for Pork Chops:

    • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 4 tablespoons butter
    • 5 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon thyme
    • 1 teaspoon rosemary

    Ingredients for Mashed Potatoes:

    • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 4 tablespoons butter
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pork Chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops, searing until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  2. Add Flavorings: Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes, basting the pork chops continuously with the butter mixture.

  3. Rest the Chops: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest while you prepare the mashed potatoes.

  4. Cook the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  5. Make Mashed Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add milk and butter, mashing until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. Serve: Plate the pork chops alongside the mashed potatoes. Drizzle with the garlic butter sauce from the skillet.
