Ingredients

For the Pork Chops:

  • 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar (for caramelization)

For the Hasselback Potatoes:

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Pork Chops

  1. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, black pepper, salt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and honey.
  2. Coat the pork chops evenly with the marinade and let them rest for at least 30 minutes (for deeper flavor, marinate for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).

Step 2: Prepare the Hasselback Potatoes

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Wash the potatoes and cut thin slits across each potato, stopping before reaching the bottom to keep them intact.
  3. In a bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Brush the mixture generously over the potatoes, making sure it seeps into the slits.
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, basting with butter every 15 minutes to keep them crispy.
  6. In the last 10 minutes, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top (if using) and return to the oven until golden and crispy.

Step 3: Grill the Pork Chops

  1. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Brush a little oil on the grill to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping only once, until nicely charred and cooked through (internal temperature should be 63°C (145°F) for juicy results).
  4. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Serve the grilled pork chops with the crispy Hasselback potatoes on the side.
  • Drizzle with extra melted butter or a fresh herb garnish for added flavor.
  • Pair with a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal.
