Ingredients
  

For the Pork Chops:

4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Olive oil for frying

For the Roasted Potatoes:

1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender, flipping halfway through.

      Prepare the Pork Chop Coating: In a shallow plate, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

        Set Up Breading Station: In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Place the flour in a third shallow bowl.

          Bread the Pork Chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Dredge each chop in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

            Pan-Fry the Pork Chops: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F / 63°C). Remove and let them rest for a few minutes.

              Serve: Plate the flavorful herb-crusted pork chops alongside the crispy roasted potatoes. Garnish everything with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious combination of savory pork with crispy herb-infused potatoes!
