A quick and easy one-pan recipe featuring crispy pork chops and tender, golden roasted potatoes, perfect for busy weeknights and comforting dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops, bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 34 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 12 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary), divided
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and cut Yukon Gold potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks. Pat dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Toss the potato chunks in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the minced garlic, half the rosemary, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once shimmering, add the pork chops. Sear without moving for 3-4 minutes until a golden brown crust forms.
  6. Flip the pork chops and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side.
  7. Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the pork chops in the skillet. Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth or water over the potatoes.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and potatoes are tender and golden.
  9. Remove skillet from oven, add butter and remaining garlic and rosemary on top, spooning melted butter over chops and potatoes.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork chops reach 145°F for safe consumption. Pat pork chops and potatoes dry before cooking to achieve crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or olive oil. Fresh or thawed potatoes work best; frozen potatoes do not crisp well.
