Description
A quick and easy one-pan dinner featuring juicy bone-in pork chops and perfectly roasted baby potatoes, ready in about 40 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red), halved
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Halve the baby potatoes and toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Rub pork chops with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously on both sides with salt, pepper, onion powder, dried thyme, and a pinch of smoked paprika.
- Place the baking sheet with potatoes in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and nestle the pork chops among the potatoes, leaving space around each chop.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for 20 minutes more, flipping the pork chops halfway through for even browning. Pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from oven and let pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley over the pork chops and potatoes before serving.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Use a meat thermometer to check pork internal temperature (145°F). Let pork rest 5 minutes before serving. For extra crispy potatoes, toss with a bit more olive oil. Optional veggies like green beans or bell peppers can be added halfway through roasting. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent mushy potatoes; reheat in skillet with splash of water or oil.
