👉3 Tips for the Perfect Smothered Pork Chops & Potatoes:

🔹️1. Sear for Flavor: Don’t skip the searing step! Browning the pork chops first locks in juices and adds deep flavor to the dish.

🔹️2. Cut Potatoes Evenly: Make sure the potato chunks are similar in size so they cook evenly and come out tender, not mushy or underdone.

🔹️3. Customize the Gravy: Want a richer taste? Swap cream of mushroom for cream of chicken, or mix both! And a dash of Worcestershire sauce gives it a savory boost.

😍This dish is cozy, satisfying, and perfect for a family dinner or weekend comfort meal. Whether you're team gravy-lover or potato-first, this one's a winner.
