Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
2. Cook the Pork Chops:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and place the pork chops in the pan. Season the chops with salt and pepper.
- Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned on the outside and nearly cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside with the potatoes.
3. Make the Honey Mustard Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, until it slightly thickens.
4. Combine Everything in the Skillet:
- Return the potatoes and pork chops to the skillet. Coat everything with the honey mustard sauce, spooning the sauce over the pork chops and potatoes.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F) and the potatoes are tender.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Once everything is cooked, garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary if desired.
- Serve your delicious honey mustard pork chops and potatoes straight from the skillet, ensuring each bite is coated in the flavorful sauce.
