Shake and Bake Ranch Pork Chops with Potatoes
Description
This recipe involves seasoning a large batch of baby potatoes with olive oil, half of a ranch seasoning blend, and Parmesan cheese, then baking them cut-side-down to start cooking while preparing pork chops. Pork chops are seasoned and dipped in a mixture of milk and eggs, then coated with seasoned panko breadcrumbs including remaining ranch seasoning. They can be double-coated for extra crispness. The pork and potatoes bake simultaneously at 425°F, creating a crisp crust on the chops and tender golden potatoes.
The seasoned coating delivers a blend of garlic powder, Italian dried herbs, smoked paprika, and salt, providing a balanced flavor profile. The dish can be served with ranch dressing for dipping, emphasizing the ranch flavor theme.
A homemade Italian herb blend can be used to supplement the ranch seasoning with dried basil, oregano, thyme, and parsley for a fresher seasoning mix.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in
- 2 pounds potato halved, baby red or yellow/gold
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup milk
- 2 egg whisked, large
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- ranch dressing prepared, for serving
Seasoning Mix
- 1 ranch seasoning dried, about 4 tablespoons in packet
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning see note, dried blend
- ½ teaspoon paprika smoked or regular
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a large baking pan/sheet pan. In a small bowl stir together all seasoning ingredients. In a large bowl toss potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle half of the seasoning mix (reserve second half for later) and parmesan cheese over the potatoes and toss to coat. (Alternately you can save parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top just before serving).
- Arrange potatoes cut-side-down on one half of the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the oven for 10 minutes while you prepare the pork chops.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. In one medium sized, shallow bowl stir together panko breadcrumbs with reserved seasoning mix and set aside. In a second medium sized, shallow bowl whisk together milk and eggs.
- Dip pork chops in the milk mixture, turning to coat all sides, then dip in the breadcrumb mixture turning to coat all sides. (For extra-thorough coating you can repeat dipping in milk and breadcrumbs once more) Remove baking pan from oven and arrange pork chops on the empty half of the pan.
- Return pan to oven for 10 minutes, then flip pork chops over and bake another 10 minutes or until pork chops are cooked through (completely white through the middle or temperature of 140 degrees ) and potatoes are fork-tender.
- Serve pork chops and potatoes immediately with ranch dressing for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
- DIY Italian Herb Blend: Combine equal parts dried basil, oregano, thyme, and parsley (about 1/4 teaspoon each) to customize the seasoning.
