Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 1.5 lbs halved baby Yukon gold potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
  3. Step 3: While potatoes roast, rub 4 bone-in pork chops with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: After the potatoes have roasted 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and nestle the pork chops among the potatoes. Spoon any garlic and herb oil over the pork.
  5. Step 5: Return the pan to the oven and roast everything for an additional 15-18 minutes until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F and potatoes are golden and tender.
  6. Step 6: Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving with the roasted garlic herb potatoes.
