SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS & TATERS

Smothered Pork Chops & Taters image

I actually came up with this recipe as a way to use up left over sawmill gravy. My husband, who isn't much into casseroles, really does like this recipe. These yummy pork chops would be a great warm-up comfort food on a cold night. You can either use left-over gravy or make your own, just pour it over, bake and enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 large potatoes
8 ounces sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup water
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
10 ounces mushrooms
1/2 cup white onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon italian seasoning

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Scrub potatoes and clean then up.
Stab them all over with a fork. If you want soft skins than you need to rub the outside with butter and then wrap in foil.
Place potatoes in a metal bake sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 70 to 80 minutes or until tender. *Hint* Some Microwaves have settings that make baked potatoes but do not cover them in foil.
Start preparing the next part of the meal when the potatoes have about 30 minutes left.
In a bowl you need to add 8 ounces of sour cream and 1/2 cup of flour.
Place the bouillon granules on the chopping board. Use a clever turned side ways to press the granules flat. This should make them like a powder.
Add the bouillon powder, 1/2 cup of water, and some pepper in to the bowl and stir.
Once you have the mixture stirred you can set it aside.
In a skillet put two tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon of minced garlic, mushrooms, and your desired amount of onions.
Cook over medium heat until the mushrooms cook down to your liking.
Add the flour mixture to the skillet.
Add the desired amount of salt pepper and Italian Seasoning.
Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
Cut the cooked potatoes in half, mash the insides up a little, pour the sauce over the top, and Enjoy!

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and become tender when cooked.
Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly throughout. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for a hearty bite, or into smaller pieces for a quicker cooking time.
Season the potatoes generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the potatoes before cooking. This will help them develop a delicious flavor.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will give the potatoes a nice crispy crust and help them cook evenly. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet.
Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the potatoes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will steam and become soggy.
Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of potatoes to cook, you may need to cook them in batches. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Serve the potatoes immediately: Smothered taters are best served hot and fresh out of the skillet. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, bacon, or sour cream, and enjoy!

Smothered taters are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages.
