Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Chicken stock
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Butter (for potatoes)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (for potatoes)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper (for potatoes)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Allow the chops to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the flour coating.

Step 2

Place 1 cup of the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside on a plate.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside, keeping them warm.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, sprinkle in 1/4 cup of flour and stir constantly, cooking the flour for 1-2 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, followed by the milk, making sure to eliminate any lumps. Simmer the gravy for 4-5 minutes until thickened, then season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Remove gravy from heat and cover to keep warm.

Step 6

While the pork chops cook, peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife.

Step 7

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the heavy cream, 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mash until smooth and fluffy, adjusting seasoning as needed.

Step 8

To serve, plate the pork chops alongside a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Drizzle the country gravy over both the chops and potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
