Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 4 large potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 1/4 cup milk (for mashed potatoes)
• 2 tablespoons butter (for mashed potatoes)

How to Make Crispy Pork Chops with Gravy

1. Start by preparing the mashed potatoes. Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
2. Add 1/4 cup milk and 2 tablespoons butter to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.
3. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the pork chops. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup milk until well combined.
5. Dip each pork chop first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour, ensuring a good coating.
6. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Remove and let rest on a paper towel-lined plate.
7. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, whisk in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
8. Slowly stir in the heavy cream and let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. To serve, plate the mashed potatoes and top with a crispy pork chop. Drizzle the creamy gravy over the chop and potatoes.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the pork chops to get that perfect crispy texture.
• Let the pork chops rest after frying to keep them juicy.
• Use a meat thermometer to confirm that the pork chops are cooked through without drying them out.

Easy Variations

• For a flavor twist, add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the flour mixture.
• Substitute the chicken broth with beef broth for a richer gravy flavor.
• Swap out the mashed potatoes for creamy polenta or rice for a different side.

What to Serve With It

• Crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Steamed vegetables such as broccoli or green beans.
• Buttered corn for a sweet complement to the savory flavors.
