Ingredients

• 2 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 0.5 cups chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges (approximately 6 wedges per potato).

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, and sear them in the skillet until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the potato wedges, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until they are golden and crisp on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the potatoes and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 5

Add chicken stock, unsalted butter, lemon juice, and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir to combine, then return the pork chops and potatoes to the pan.

Step 6

Cover the skillet and let everything simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish.

Step 8

Serve the Pork Chops Vesuvio hot, ensuring each plate has a generous portion of both pork and potatoes alongside the flavorful sauce.
