Instructions

Step 1: Season & Sear the Pork Chops

1. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel.
2. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Potatoes

1. In the same skillet, add the cubed potatoes.
2. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned.
3. Remove the potatoes and set aside with the pork chops.

Step 3: Make the Gravy

1. Reduce heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet.
2. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
3. Slowly pour in the broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
4. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and onion powder.
5. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Combine & Simmer

1. Return the pork chops and potatoes to the skillet, coating them in the gravy.
2. Cover and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked (internal temp: 145°F / 63°C) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 5: Serve

1. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
2. Serve hot with extra gravy drizzled on top.
