Recipe View Serve: Season the dish to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the pork chops and potatoes immediately, spooning the flavorful pan juices over the top.

For even more flavor, try using smoked bacon.
Feel free to substitute other root vegetables, such as carrots or parsnips, for some of the potatoes.
A splash of apple cider vinegar added during the last few minutes of cooking can brighten the flavors.
Ensure the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F for optimal doneness.
