Boil a little extra potato tonight to make our Harvest Vegetable Pancake later. These mashed spuds are made with olive oil in place of butter for a more healthful, but equally delicious, dish.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup whole milk
4 bone-in pork shoulder chops (about 2 pounds total), patted dry
1 small yellow onion, diced small
3 firm but ripe plums, cut into 3/4-inch wedges
5 ounces salad greens
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
2 scallions, greens thinly sliced, whites reserved for another use

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water over medium-high. Reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Reserve 1 cup potatoes for Harvest Vegetable Pancake recipe; return remaining potatoes to pot. With a potato masher, mash potatoes until fluffy and free of large lumps, then whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil and milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper, cover pot, and keep warm over low.
  • Meanwhile, season pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Working in batches if necessary, cook pork until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a serving platter and tent with foil. Return pan to heat, add onion, and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add plums and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender and plums begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, toss salad greens with 4 teaspoons oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Serve pork chops with plum mixture, potatoes sprinkled with scallion greens, and salad.

I'm not a big fan of plums, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The pork chops were delicious and the plum sauce was surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork chops. The plum sauce is a nice change from the usual gravy or barbecue sauce.

This recipe was a disaster! The pork chops were tough and overcooked, the plum sauce was too sweet, and the whipped potatoes were lumpy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Overall, this recipe was a success. The pork chops were cooked perfectly and the plum sauce was delicious. However, I found that the whipped potatoes were a bit bland. Next time, I would add some herbs or spices to give them more flavor.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a savory sauce instead of the plum sauce.
