Week night dinner - quick roasted pork and potatoes

This dish is my week night fall back, this is what I make when I'm driving home thinking "what's for dinner tonight?" And no particular inspiration comes, you understand I would not say this out loud the answer from my dear husband would always be spaghetti. Even if I do not feel like stopping for groceries,  I pretty much always have some pork in the freezer and I can not imagine not having potatoes and garlic.

Quick roasted pork and potatoes

This is one of my not really a recipe recipe, it is more about proportions.

Equal amounts of pork and potatoes (one good size boneless pork chop per person)
1/2 garlic clove per chop
Tablespoon of olive oil per chop
A handful of fresh herbs.
I use what ever I have on hand at the moment I still have good selection in the garden.  Here I used
Sage, parsley,thyme and rosemary.

Ingredients ready to go for 4

Chop the potatoes and pork into equal size chunks
Slice the garlic
and roughly chop the herbs

Pre heat an ovenproof frying pan and add the olive oil. When it is hot throw in the pork. Cook for a couple of minutes until starting to brown, (this just speeds the cooking process up) then add the remaining ingredients. toss them all together and put in a pre heated 400 oven.

Ready for the oven

After 10 minutes stir everything up and cook for a further 10 or 15  minutes until everything is browned and cooked through.  You just need a green vegetable or salad and dinner is served.
