Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Toss the potato wedges in the oil until well coated, then season well and spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the top of the oven for 30-40 minutes until golden and crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle.
- Meanwhile, heat a frying pan with the butter and another splash of oil and season the chops. Add the chops to the sizzling pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to a baking tray and cook under the wedges for the last 5 minutes of their cooking time. Remove everything from the oven and rest the pork while you make the salsa verde.
- Whizz the salsa verde ingredients in a food processor, taste and season. Serve the pork chops and wedges with the salsa in a bowl.
