METHOD

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425°F.

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and black pepper.
  • Add pork chops to skillet and sear for about 3 minutes, then flip. Add rosemary sprigs to skillet, then transfer to oven and cook until meat reaches an internal temperature of 63°C / 145°F, about 6 to 8 minutes (depending on the thickness of your pork chop). Discard rosemary.

NOTES

  • Yukon Gold potatoes and baby red varieties work well for roasting
  • Make sure the roasting pan isn’t crowded (to ensure potatoes roast instead of steaming)
  • Feel free to add chopped rosemary to the potatoes before roasting
  • When selecting pork chops, choose ones with a thick fat cap, as these will provide more flavor
  • You can use boneless or bone-in pork chops for this recipe
