Pork Chops&Lemon Potatoes

  • 6

Ingredients

  • 6 pork chops (about 3/4-inch thick)
  • 1-1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 4 large lemons
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-1/2 tablespoons Greek oregano
  • 7 medium sized potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1



Mix 1/2 cup olive oil, with the juice of 2 lemons, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of Greek oregano. Marinate pork chops in mixture. Cook pork chops on the grill on medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, or until medium-well done.

Drizzle a very small amount of olive oil over the potatoes. Add ½ tablespoon of oregano, salt and pepper, and mix it all together. Place the seasoned potatoes on a shallow baking pan. Pour the remaining olive oil, about 1/2 cup, juice from 2 lemons, and half the water in between the gaps between the potatoes. (Do not pour over the potatoes—you will wash off the oregano!)

Bake for 45-60 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit, until golden and crispy.

Serve pork chops and potatoes together.
