How to make Creamy Garlic Pork Chops

Tips from the cook

  • Dry the chops with paper towel before seasoning, so they brown well.
  • Stand each chop on its fatty edge with tongs for a minute, to crisp it.
  • Simmer until the sauce thickens, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Serve with mashed potato.
