Preptime

Ingredients
1 lb small Fingerling Potatoes
2 Cloves Garlic
Kosher Salt
4 1/2-inch-thick boneless Pork Loin Chops (5 oz each)
2 tsp Chopped Fresh Sage
Freshly Ground Pepper
1 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 Large Red Onion, Cut into 1/2-inch Wedges
2 Granny Smith Apples, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup Apple Cider
1/4 cup Buttermilk
Instructions
Put the potatoes and garlic in a saucepan, cover
with cold water and season with salt. Cover and
bring to a boil, then uncover and continue cooking
until tender, about 15 minutes. Cover and set aside.
Meanwhile, rub both sides of the pork chops with
the sage, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a
large cast-iron skillet over high heat, then add 1
teaspoon olive oil and sear the chops until golden
on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to
a plate. Wipe out the skillet and add the
remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add the onion and
apples and cook over medium-high heat until
lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt
and pepper and stir in the cider.
Return the chops to the skillet. Cover and cook,
turning once, until just cooked through, 4 to 5
minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup
liquid. Return the potatoes to the pan; add the
buttermilk and mash, adding cooking liquid as
needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with
the pork chops, onion and apples. Drizzle with the
pan juices.
