Slow Cooked Pork Chops & Potatoes

These pork chops fell off the bone (hence the not-so-beautiful picture) and turned out to be thinner than I thought they were, but they were SO tasty! The potatoes are a perfect compliment. I like to use leftover potatoes to make hash browns (yummy, they don't need to be seasoned, just fried in 1-2Tbsp butter) the next day. Or you could cook just the pork chops without the potatoes, if you'd like (if so, cut broth down to 2 c and garlic to 2 or 3 cloves). Serves 4.

Slow Cooked Pork Chops & Potatoes

4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2" discs
1/4 c olive oil
2 c chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp poultry seasoning*
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
4 thick cut pork chops
salt and pepper to taste.

1. Place potatoes in bottom of slow cooker. Whisk the oil, broth, garlic, paprika, seasoning, oregano, basil in a medium bowl. Pour over potatoes.
2. Cut small slits in each pork chop and place on top of potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.

* you can substitute poultry seasoning for 2 tsp sage and 2 tsp thyme or rosemary.
