Baked Pork Chops Baker's Wife Style | Traditional Pork One-Pan Dish

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (conventional top and bottom heat). Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into thicker wedges or slices. Peel the onions and cut them into thicker rings. Crush the garlic cloves.

Slice the pork loin into 4 nice, even chops (if not using pre-sliced), then score the edges slightly so they do not curl up during roasting. Tenderize gently, then season both sides with salt and pepper.

Grease a deep baking sheet or baking dish with 1 tablespoon of pork lard. Toss the potato wedges with the crushed garlic, remaining salt, black pepper, sweet paprika, and ground caraway, then spread evenly over the bottom of the pan.
