Pork Chops with Potatoes
Pork Chops with Potatoes is a hearty baked dish combining garlic-studded pork chops with layers of thinly sliced potatoes, onions, and chopped bacon, seasoned with juniper berries or tarragon. The ingredients are baked covered with wine and chicken stock, producing tender meat and flavorful, soft potatoes infused with savory aromatics.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 2 cloves garlic sliced
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 ½ pounds potato peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 4 lices Bacon chopped
- ½ teaspoon juniper berries or 2 sprigs fresh tarragon
- ½ cup white wine or beer
- ½ cup chicken stock
- parsley for garnish, fresh chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut small pockets in the fatty sides of the pork chops and insert slivers of garlic. Sprinkle the chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chops and cook until nicely browned on each side, about 5-6 minutes. Remove chops from pan and set aside.
- Using a heavy, deep baking dish or Dutch oven, arrange half the potatoes and onions on the bottom. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay the chops on top, scatter over the bacon and tarragon. Cover with the remaining potatoes and onions. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Pour over the wine.
- Cut a piece of baking parchment to fit over the contents of the dish and lay it on top of the final layer of potatoes and onions. Place the lid on the dish.
- Bake for 1 hour, 30 minutes adding in the stock halfway through the cooking time.
- Sprinkle with parsley to serve.
