- 4 medium potatoes, diced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Crank your oven to a toasty 400°F and grab a large sheet pan ready for action.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Drop 4 medium diced potatoes into the seasoning mixture, then swirl and coat them completely until each potato chunk glistens with flavor.
- Spread the seasoned potato chunks across your sheet pan, creating little pockets of space between each piece to ensure crispy edges.
- Nestle 4 pork chops right on top of and between the potato chunks, ensuring they have breathing room.
- Slide the pan into the preheated 400°F oven and roast everything for precisely 25-30 minutes, watching for golden potato edges and perfectly cooked pork.
- Check the pork’s internal temperature reaches 145°F using a meat thermometer for safe, juicy results.
- Pull the pan from the oven and let everything rest for 3 minutes to lock in those delicious juices.
- Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the entire sheet pan for a bright, herbal finish before serving directly from the pan.
Notes
- Thicker pork chops might need a few extra minutes of cooking time, so check the internal temperature reaches 145°F for perfect doneness.
- Swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile and added nutrition.
- For a crispy potato exterior, pat the diced potatoes completely dry before seasoning and spread them in a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
