Pork Chops with Oniony Mashed Potatoes and Cider Gravy

It was really good. There was too much juice , so I didn’t use the gravy. The potatoes were delicious! I can’t believe how much flavor two cloves of garlic bring to a dish! Will make again.

I made this recipe as written. I thought it sounded great and I’ll try something new. Not impressed with the pork chop , it was chewy and not tender at all. Wouldn’t do them like this in the pressure cooker again. Now that I said that , the mashed potatoes and onion mix with the Apple cider mixture was out of this world good. My whole family gobbled them up and my adult son took the left over mashed potatoes home. I’m not quite sure how to rate this recipe. I am going to attempt the mashed with this mixture again without the pork chops and see if I get similar results.

My boyfriend and I had fun making this in a stovetop pressure cooker. Cooking time for us was rather wonky; I recall it taking way longer than usual to come to pressure (the nozzle rose long before the steady stream of steam came out) and so it was on med-hi heat for like 12 mins before we turned it down to cook for 6 minutes (plus 5 more for natural release followed by 3 mins of quick release)... resulting in dry and weirdly flaky chops - but the excellent flavor made up for it. We scaled it to 5, and even though we didn't have enough onions to match, it still turned out stellar. Deglazed the browned pork bits with the apple cider for the start of a nice, alcoholic (if you like that kinda taste!) gravy. Mustard really comes through. Didn't have Dijon - used brown, but Dijon might be better. Also used fresh rosemary instead of dried - very powerful flavor. Overall loved this recipe for all its fun components! Maple syrup & nutmeg used in a subtle way? Yes please.

It was a huge hit, especially the potatoes. The only change was I used regular apple cider instead of hard cider. Even though it has a large list of ingredients, they wee all items I had, except the cider. It was also easy to mark.I will definitely make again.
