The Best pork chop and potato recipe
I have been making this pork chop and potato recipe for years and it is one of those meals that always gets a positive reaction from my family. The pork chops come out tender and juicy while the potatoes get crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is a simple one pan meal that does not require a lot of cleanup which is a big win on busy weeknights. My kids actually ask for seconds when I make this which does not happen with every dinner I cook. The protein from the pork chops keeps everyone full and the potatoes provide good carbs for energy. It is a balanced meal that works for a casual family dinner or even when you have guests over because it looks impressive but is easy to prepare. I love that I can use basic ingredients I usually have on hand like garlic, herbs, and olive oil to make something that tastes like it took more effort than it actually did.

Do not overcook them. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature and remove them from the oven at 145 degrees F. Letting them rest for 5 minutes also helps keep them juicy.
