    Paprika Pork Chops with Potatoes Ingredients
  • 4 pieces pork chops (Bone-in or boneless, based on preference.)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika (Use smoked or sweet paprika for different flavor profiles.)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (Enhances the savory flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (Adds depth to the seasoning.)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (Adjust to taste.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (Freshly ground for best flavor.)

Instructions
    Paprika Pork Chops with Potatoes Recipe
  1. 1
    Prep WorkPreheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and a generous sprinkle of smoky paprika on both sides.
    For extra flavor, let the seasoned pork chops sit for 15 minutes before cooking.
  2. 2
    Sear the Pork ChopsHeat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove the chops and set them aside.
    Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to ensure proper browning.
  3. 3
    Cook the PotatoesIn the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Layer the potato slices in the skillet, seasoning each layer with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the potatoes start to soften.
    Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning the potatoes.
  4. 4
    Combine and BakePlace the seared pork chops on top of the potatoes in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
    Check the pork's internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. 5
    Serve and EnjoyRemove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the paprika pork chops with the flavorful potatoes and enjoy a delicious meal!
    Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
Note
  • For a smokier flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
  • Make sure to let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
  • Feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra aroma.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, you can broil the pork chops for a few minutes at the end.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or omit them altogether.
  • You can swap potatoes with sweet potatoes or butternut squash for a different twist.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispiness.
