pork chops n' taters

i never really buy pork chops, but when i do, i like to go all out. this dish is a great twist on a comfort classic. a great meal easily done in 30 minutes. i used plums for the pork chop topping, but you could use whatever fruit you'd like (peaches, apricots, apples, etc). add a small salad and you're set!

whatcha need: (serves 2)

2 bone-in pork chops

2 tablespoons oil

1 yellow onion (diced small)

2-3 plums (or peaches, apricots, apples)

4 russet potatoes (rinsed, peeled, chopped)

2-3 garlic cloves (smashed and chopped)

1 cup milk

butter

salt and pepper

whatcha do:

fill large pot of salted water for potatoes. add potatoes and garlic, bring to a boil. cook potatoes until pierced easily with fork (10-15min).

meanwhile, season both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper. heat oil in large skillet over med. high heat.

add chops and cook about 7 min. flipping once.

transfer chops to plate; tent with tin foil.

add onions to pan, cook about 2 mins. add fruit and cook until soft about 5 minutes. season with salt and pepper; top on pork chops.

drain potatoes, return to pot. add butter and milk. mash until creamy. season with salt and pepper. add more milk if you want creamier potatoes.
