Ingredients

4 medium red potatoes, unpeeled and quartered
4 peeled garlic cloves
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 pork loin chops (about 5 ounces each)
1/4 cup chopped shallots
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 cup sparkling wine or dry Champagne
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup milk

Directions

Place potatoes and garlic in a medium saucepan and pour over enough water to cover. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook 8 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and return potatoes and garlic to pan. Add sour cream and mash until almost smooth (or lumpy if desired). Stir in parsley and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and black pepper and add to hot pan. Cook 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove pork from pan and set aside. To the same pan, add shallots and cook 2 minutes, until soft. Add thyme and tarragon and cook 1 minute, until fragrant. Add sparkling wine and cook 1 minute. Whisk flour into milk and add to pan. Return pork to pan and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, until pork is cooked through and sauce thickens. Serve 4 pork chops with all of the sauce and mashed potatoes. Reserve remaining pork for rice.

Good chops, horrid sauce!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

The pork chops turned out well but the sauce was absolutely DISGUSTING! It tasted like garlic champagne.

Bland, boring, blah
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This was not good at all. Sauce is runny and doesn't add much flavor at all to the pork. I would pass on this one.

ok.. needs more flavor
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was a easy recipe to make- I only made the pork chops as I wanted roasted potatoes. I did not put as much thyme in the... sauce as it seems to completely overpower all recipes if too much is added. I felt it was a bland sauce and added a sprinkle of salt, smoked paprika and garlic powder and that seemed to add a little extra flavor but it was still very light in flavor, which was fine. I also needed to whisk in a little extra flour as the sauce was very runny. I would make again with modifications to add flavor Read more

Such a good dinner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a wonderful recipe. It was fairly easy to make but looked and tasted like restaurant quality. My husband loved it. I... would consider us both big time foodies and good cooks and this ranked high in our book!Read more

IMPRESSIVE RECIPE!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Such an excellent, velvety sauce, and I didn't even have champagne. Used a nice white wine and added a tablespoon of butter... to make glisten. Followed the browning time and then placed boneless chops back into sauce to finish. Perfectly cooked and moist. Would definitely recommend for a "TA DA" meal for someone special. I even threw some fresh asparagus cut prettily on a diagonal at the last minute and had no complaints of the green veggie since it was bathed in this wonderful, delicious sauce. I highly recommend a crusty ciabatta roll to accompany for some exquisite dipping!Read more
