Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients - Start by washing and dicing the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and set both aside.
Step 2: Season the Pork Chops - Rub the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and dried rosemary. Make sure they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
Step 3: Heat the Skillet - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter - Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5: Cook the Potatoes - Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the garlic butter. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Step 6: Combine and Serve - Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the potatoes. Allow everything to cook together for a few more minutes to absorb the flavors. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
