Ingredients
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges or thick slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread the potatoes evenly on one side of a large baking sheet.
- Season the pork chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with the remaining olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of rosemary or thyme if desired.
- Arrange the pork chops: Place the pork chops on the other side of the baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap with the potatoes.
- Add butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the pork chops and potatoes to enhance their flavor and help with browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), and the potatoes are crispy and tender.
- Rest and serve: Allow the pork chops to rest for about 3-5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
