If youre using boneless or thin pork chops, reduce your cook time to 6 to 8 minutes. Also, the longer cook time will result in very soft potatoes. If you prefer your potatoes more solid, wrap the potatoes in foil and cook them on top of the pork chops, or use small whole potatoes. Ingredients 4 thick cut, bone in pork chops.

I only used four potatoes, because they were so big. Thats it. Pretty simple, right This recipe is a hearty, warm dish for fall and winter. You could probably make it in the slow cooker, too.
