Oven Baked Pork Chops with Potatoes

Recipe video above. This is a sauce made for baked pork chops. It makes them come out golden and sticky, rather than pale and bland. It's a country-style sauce that's savoury and a bit sweet! Potatoes are optional - or sub with other roastable veg.

Steps

Preheat oven to 220C / 430F (standard oven) or 200C / 390F (fan forced / convection).
Toss potatoes in oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter on baking tray.
Place in oven for 15 minutes (giving them a head start).
Pork
- Meanwhile, mix the Rub ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Slather the pork on both sides with the Rub, reserving some Rub for basting. (See notes for marinating)
- Take the tray out of the oven. Toss potatoes then push them to the edge.
- Place pork on tray. Bake for 15 minutes. 
- Remove tray from oven, flick to broiler/grill on high (shelf about 20cm/8" from heat source).
- Flip pork, spoon over reserved rub and dab on sides. (Note 4). Broil 7 - 10 minutes until pretty well caramelised.
- Remove from oven. Use a brush to get the golden juices off the tray and dab it onto the pork - this is key for flavour and colour! Pop it back under the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish off.
- Serve, scraping the juices on the tray onto the pork, then garnish with parsley if desired.

This is truly the most easiest dinner made possible and truly yummy

Great recipe (as usual 😁). I did make a couple of small changes 1. Parboiled the potatoes for 8 mins before roasting them. 2. Used pork shoulder chops. I find that because they are marbled with fat, they don’t dry out or toughen. M

Nagi, I love you! Love your recipes! The pork chops didn’t have enough flavour, marinaded for 20 or so minutes and I doubled it. Then cooked and a tad tough, might be my oven? Next time marinating overnight, as the flavour is excellent! Cut of the boned chops may be a problem?

Great recipe for oven pork chops. Followed it exactly. Really delicious.

I did it with the thin pork loin but rolled them and skewered them with stuffing and cheese in the middle you have to go light on that or it'll just melt back out. Also I added diced pink lady apples into the potato as well as some small shallots and it just popped. But I knew the thin pork wouldn't turn out as well done regularly so I took a chance and I'm glad I did.

This was such a good recipe! I'm not always a fan of pork chops but I made these and it was honestly some of my favorites I've ever had! Thank you for sharing:) followed cooking times exactly for bone in chops and it was perfect too!

Amazing! Thank you! :)

Best ever! Not a piece was left. My grands wanted more the next day. I use boneless chops and it only took 15 minutes to cook after baking the potatoes for 15 minutes first. I doubled the sauce recipe and poured it over the potatoes. As the kids say it was slamming!

It is in the oven as I type. I only had 3 pork chops and I may of used a tad to much olive oil on my potatoes, it all still should be fine. I loved your rub, tastes fine.

Love love love this recipe. Its so yummy. The whole family loves this. It's quick and easy.

Wow! Amazing! I followed the glaze recipe but for cooking I used a flat bottom porcelain bowl instead of a baking sheet to concentrate the glaze while cooking, especially for the potatoes. I doubled the amounts for the glaze to get more juice for the potatoes. The chops were thick so they took 30 min to cook. Instead of broiling I cut the chops up in big cubes towards the end and rolled them in the glaze to finish the cooking over 5 min.

This is a very easy recipe that my husband and kids love. I have also thrown carrots in with the potatoes. Very good. It is one of the few recipes I make that I don't tweak the seasonings on. It has become a go to for my family. Thank you for sharing.

My partner and I aren’t big pork fans, but we got it in a meat pack so I thought I’d give this recipe a go. We LOVED it. So delicious. 100% will be cooking again
