Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 35–40 minutes Total Time: ~45 minutes Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in pork chops ¾–1 inch thick, ~1.5–2 lbs total
  • 1.5 –2 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon Golds cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika smoked or sweet
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or dried oregano + basil
  • 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Optional extras
  • Fresh chopped parsley or rosemary
  • Lemon wedges

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks (or halve baby potatoes). Place in a large bowl.
  3. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Trim excess fat if desired.
  4. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. Drizzle 2 Tbsp olive oil over potatoes and toss to coat. Sprinkle half the seasoning mix over potatoes and toss again.
  6. Rub remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil over both sides of pork chops. Sprinkle remaining seasoning mix evenly over chops, pressing it in.
  7. Spread potatoes in a single layer on one side of the sheet pan. Place seasoned pork chops on the other side.
  8. Roast at 425°F for 35–40 minutes. Flip pork chops and stir potatoes halfway through (~18–20 minutes) for even browning.
  9. Check doneness: Pork chops should reach 145°F internal (carryover to 150–155°F while resting); potatoes fork-tender with crispy edges.
  10. Rest chops 5 minutes, then serve hot with potatoes and optional fresh parsley or lemon wedges.

Notes

Pat everything dry → key for browning and crispiness.
Even potato sizes → uniform cooking.
Single layer + flip/stir halfway → even color and texture.
Use meat thermometer → prevents dry pork.
Rest pork 5 minutes → juices stay inside.
Add veggies (green beans, carrots) halfway if desired.
