Succulent Garlic-Infused Pork Chops with Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
For the Pork Chops:
4 bone-in pork chops
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon rosemary, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
For the Mashed Potatoes:
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender about 15-20 minutes.
Drain and return the potatoes to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.
Cook the Pork Chops:
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let rest.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic.
Stir until the garlic becomes fragrant and the butter is melted and slightly browned.
Finish and Serve:
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over them.
Serve the pork chops alongside the smooth mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.
