Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary sprig
• 2 cups carrots, sliced
• 2 cups zucchini, diced
• 1 pound gold potatoes
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

As the potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the pork chops. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and add butter, minced garlic, and the rosemary sprig to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the pork chops for an additional minute. Remove the pork chops and let them rest.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced carrots and diced zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot. Mash them with milk, sour cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Serve the pork chops with a side of mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables. Garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy your hearty dinner!
