Oven Baked Pork Chops with Potatoes

Ingredients
SAUCE

• 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 tbsp ketchup 
• 1 tbsp soy sauce 
• 2 tbsp brown sugar (or white)*
• 1 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable or canola oil)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar 

CHOPS

• 4 pork chops / cutlets , around 7-8oz each including bone** 
• 1.6 lb baby potatoes , larger ones cut in half 
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt & pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 430F or 390F (convection).
2. Toss potatoes in oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter on baking tray.
3. Place in oven for 15 minutes (giving them a head start).
4. Meanwhile, mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
5. Slather the pork on both sides with the sauce, reserving some sauce for basting. 
6. Take the tray out of the oven. Toss potatoes then push them to the edge.
7. Place pork on tray. Bake for 15 minutes. 
8. Remove tray from oven, flick to broiler on high (shelf about 8" from heat source).
9. Flip pork, spoon over reserved sauce and dab on sides. Broil 7 - 10 minutes until pretty well caramelised.
10. Remove from oven. Use a brush to get the golden juices off the tray and dab it onto the pork. Pop it back under the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish off.

*This recipe is not sticky.   The pork juices dilute the sauce and it doesn't get all gunked up in your pan, I promise

**I cut my own chops out of those giant pork loins that go on sale in the summer (highly recommend), which don't have a bone, and this recipe works just fine for those, if they're nice and thick, say a half inch
