Are You Ready for a Recipe that Everyone Will Love?!

I’m always on the lookout for healthy, simple meals that my family will actually eat (we’re host to several picky eaters). We have never been big pork chop fans, when we order the cuts for our personal pork, we skip chops and make them into brats.

One day I stumbled across this recipe and it sounded too good not to try. Lo and behold, the fam loves it!! Pork chops and mashed potatoes with gravy, SO delicious!! It sounds like it’d be super time-consuming, but it’s not, it’s simple and hands-off.

Give it a try, I bet your family will love this recipe too! Check our farm store hours to stock up this week on Pastured Pork Chops.

We don't have a lot of pork chop lovers in our family, but this recipe has won over everyone. It's quick, simple, and delicious! If your chops are frozen, no problem, just add a few minutes to your cook time. You can also substitute pork tenderloin for some or all of the chops if you like.

  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 1 1/2 tsp Parsley

  • 1/2 tsp Thyme

  • 1/4 tsp Rosemary

  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

  • 1 tsp Onion Powder

  • 3-4 Large Russet Potatoes, 1" chunks

  • 1 cup Chicken or Pork Stock

  • 4 tbsp Milk

  • 3-4 tbsp Flour

  • 1/2 cup Cream

  • Salt

Steps:

  • Add potatoes and stock to Instant Pot.

  • In a small bowl combine salt, parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic and onion powder.

  • Pat chops dry and place them in a large plastic bag, dump the seasonings in and toss until the chops are well coated.

  • Take the chops out of the bag and place on top of the potatoes.

  • Cook on manual high pressure for 15 minutes, natural release.

  • Once the pressure has released, take the cops out of the pot and place them on a plate and cover loosely with foil.

  • Remove the potatoes from the pot and place in a large bowl.  Leave the liquid in the pot. Gently mash the potatoes and add in the butter and milk, adjusting for taste.

  • Set the instant pot on saute to make the gravy.  In a small bowl whisk together the flour and cream to a slurry.  Once the stock starts to bubble, whisk in the flour mixture.  Stir and cook until thick and bubbly.

  • Plate and Enjoy!
