Cooking Pork Chops with Potatoes in Dutch Oven
Our pork chops and potatoes recipe is the perfect dutch oven meal to have for dinner tonight!
Instead of using regular oil, we’ve made use of the fat from the pork loin blade chops. We render a bit of the fat for a few minutes as a base for added flavor and for using it as the base cooking oil. It’s a great way to make use of the fat on your pork instead of simply trimming it away.
This dish isn’t just full of chops and potatoes. We’ve added in extra vegetables like carrots and onions to make it even more scrumptious. So before the long cook, we recommend surrounding your pork chops with potatoes and vegetables. This simple assembly helps to evenly cook everything in the dutch oven. Not to mention, those surrounding flavors from the vegetables really enhance the pork chops’ overall taste.
