PREPARATION:
1️⃣ Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
- In a large pot, add the peeled and chopped potatoes and cover with cold water.
- Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain and return potatoes to the pot.
- Add heavy cream, butter, and salt, then mash until smooth and creamy.
- Cover and set aside while you prepare the pork chops.
2️⃣ Sear the Pork Chops
- Pat dry the pork chops with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add pork chops and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

3️⃣ Make the Buttery Garlic Sauce
- In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add 3 tbsp butter.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently (don’t let it burn!).
- Return the pork chops to the pan, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the top.
