Overall I loved the recipe. Only thing I would change would be to add a little heavy cream to the potatoes, and a little more flour to the sauce. I like my potatoes creamy and my gravy a little thicker.
Great but not easy

I made this one night when I was wanting to make something special for my family. It is a wonderful recipe! My hesitant husband, whom is normally a picky eater, at this very willingly. The flavor of the champagne sauce goes so nicely with the pork and the potatoes. My only complaint is that this recipe is listed as easy but it is not easy to make. You must be good at multi tasking and this is not a recipe for those with little cooking experience.
nice and easy

This was my first time making this and I was making it for my wife and her two sisters, one of which is an extremely picky eater. We all thought that this was a very good meal. Would definitely make this again.

I had horrible luck with this recipe. The picture looks good but mine was horrible! My husband actually made that gagging sound little kids make. The only thing I can think that I changed was wine for champagne. And the pork chops were cooked too fast to be tender. Yuk!

the potatos could have been richer. I would have roasted the garlic instead of boiled it with the potatos, and used a bit of butter with the sour cream. in the gravy, flavor was great , i also instead would have used a cooked flour and butter roux thickener in the sauce instead of raw flower in milk.
Really tasty!

I saw this program and made it that evening. We thought it was very tasty and looked great for such a speedy meal. I did make a small change-after the chops had browned. I pulled them out (left the shallots in) and added some butter and flour and cooked it a couple minutes. I then followed the rest of the recipe. We just don't like the taste raw flour gives a meal. It does lean more toward the bland side, but was still very, very good.

I made this recipe after a long day at work. I was very amazed at how easy and delicious it turned out. I added a bit of chicken bouillon to the creamy sauce and it was delicious!! I plated the meal and topped it with fresh parsley. I even impressed myself!
Impressive in a flash!

I adjusted ingredients to what I had available at home: used chardonnay; fresh herbs (tripled the amount called for); and half 'n half. It was terrific. Be sure to salt and pepper both sides of the chops and have them at room temp before cooking. They had loads of flavor and the sauce was scrumptious. (I did not make the potatoes.)

This is one of my favorite recipes from Robin's collection. I don't understand the comments about it being bland, but perhaps those cooks didn't season the chops with enough salt and pepper, as well as seasoning the sauce. I didn't have champagne, so I used white wine, and also used fat free half and half. The rustic potatos with the garlic were a perfect pairing for the sauce. My husband told me it tasted like something we would get at our favorite French restaurant. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how delicious this meal is.
so tasty

This meal was a disaster from the start. The sauce tasted AWFUL! I threw it all out. I followed the recipe exactly. This was AWFUL I would never ever ever make this.
Not worth the effort

If you're going to go to the trouble of opening a bottle of bubbly and making a nice reduction, it better be worth it. The sauce was watery and never really reduced properly. The end result was really lacking in seasoning. My husband and I were disappointed and would not make this again.
ok

I made the pork chops with the sauce(excluded the potatoes and had a salad instead). It was delicious and so easy to make. I had all the ingrediets on hand except the dried tarragon--used dried parsley instead. Beautiful simple flavors, not overpowering at all. I would definitely make this again! The family (including the kids) were licking their plates clean! :)
Ok but a little Bland

My honey and I cooked this with high hopes for a deliciously romantic meal. We looked at the final product, tasted and simultaneously went.. eh, a little bland." Good Try Robin, try a little harder next time
Easy and great tasting!

This recipe offers a simple and savory option for pork chops - elegantly simple. The combos are great - even allow for short-cuts. My recommendation is that the thyme is far too strong. As rosemary often does, it overpowered the other delectible flavors. Next time, I will half-again the tarragon, and half the thyme (maybe more). I think this will allow the carmelizing of the meat, and the richness of the butter, wine, shallots and pepper to come forth. If you're cooking the base-chop, and all you can smell is one ingredient - it's too much! Bon Appetit!

When I watched Robin make this dish, it looked so delicious I just had to try it.I always read the reviews before I make any of the recipes as those before me either leave the recipe as it is or make adjustments to make it better or just give it two thumbs down & are done with it. The reviews for this recipe were all over the place! I borrowed the idea of the chicken broth (instead of chanpange or wine)from one & added more tarragon from another. My contribution to this is I added a half capful of Kitchen Bouquet to mine. Overall,my family enjoyed this & I would make it again.

I used sauterne wine to give the sauce zippier flavor and half and half rather than milk. Plus, I added extra herbs - especially tarragon which I love. It was delicious.
Yuck...

This lady can't cook! I've tried a few things and they've all been awful (and I'm a pretty good cook). This one was bland and was like eating paper. Don't waste your time on this recipe... In a matter of fact, avoid all her recipes. Go check out Ina's page. Now there's a lady who can cook!

Smells great, looks good but is pretty bland. I suggest using thin cut chops and adding more shallots and spices.
Will try again :)

Thought this was a pretty good recipe - although I was disappointed that the printed version did not match the directions given on the show. I used fresh herbs rather than dried and substituted chicken broth for the wine. Sauce needed a little salt and I let chops cook in the sauce longer until they were tender. I'd make this recipe again.

This recipe was fantastic! Cooking the gralic with the potatoes worked wonderfully. They were so delicious when mashed with the parsley. This sauce was yummy a well. It was a bit too "herby" for us, so I added some chicken stock, more milk and flour.
Too Bland for my family

I made this dish for dinner tonight. My family's reviews were not encouraging. My daughter that usually likes bland food thought it was way to bland. My husband, who likes spicy and flavorful food made suggestions all through the meal as to how I could improve it. We are going to try the pork fried rice from this show later this week. My family will let you know what they think.
