Crispy Pork & Apple-Potato Skillet

Ingredients

• 2 pieces pork chops (boneless, 1 inch thick)
• 1 lb waxy potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1 large granny smith apple
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into half-moons
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 4 leaves fresh sage leaves (or 0.5 tsp dried)

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain, then mash with 1 tbsp butter, salt, and pepper until creamy.

2. 2

   While potatoes cook, pat pork chops dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming. Sear pork 2 minutes per side until edges brown. Transfer to a plate.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter, apple, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples soften and onions caramelize, about 6 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir in mustard and sage. Return pork to pan and coat with the apple-onion mixture. Warm 1 minute, tasting and adjusting seasoning.

6. 6

   Divide mashed potatoes between plates. Top with pork and apple-onion sauce. Serve immediately.
