While they don't get the same love as French fries, home fries, or steak fries, cottage fries more than hold their own against their potato side dish fraternity brothers.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

4 medium russet potatoes peeled and sliced 3/8 inch thick
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper and cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp herbs de provence
3 Tbsp olive or canola oil

Steps:

1. Place potatoes in a bowl. Drizzle the oil over and sprinkle all the seasonings on them mixing to try to coat as evenly as you can.
2. Preheat oven 425 degrees. Use a slip mat or parchment paper. Lay the potatoes in a single layer on paper. Will have to use probably two large baking sheets.
3. Bake until browned probably 15 minutes or so. Flip and bake until other side is browned.

Tips:

Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
Season the pork chops well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly and become tough.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help them retain their juices and flavor.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides: Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

Baked pork chops and cottage fries are a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pork chops are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
