Directions
-
In a small bowl, toss the sliced potatoes, onion wedges, and bell pepper strips with 1 teaspoon of oregano and the salt until evenly coated.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the seasoned vegetables to the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly browned.
-
Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside in a bowl, keeping them warm.

Season the pork chops with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oregano and the garlic powder.
-
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet if needed, and reduce heat to medium.
-
Place the pork chops in the skillet and cover. Sauté for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145ðF (63ðC) and the meat is no longer pink.
-
Remove pork chops from the skillet and drain any excess fat if necessary.
-
Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the pork chops. Cover the skillet and heat for an additional 3-5 minutes to warm everything through and meld the flavors.

Note
For best results, ensure the pork chops are of uniform thickness so they cook evenly.
You can substitute new potatoes with baby potatoes cut in half, or regular russet potatoes cut into small cubes (which may require slightly longer cooking time).
Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms or zucchini to the medley for extra variety.
If the skillet becomes dry while cooking the pork, you can add a splash of water or chicken broth to create a light sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
