Recipe Tips
To make this recipe even more flavorful, try adding some diced carrots and celery to the Instant Pot with the pork chops. Just make sure they are diced small enough so they cook in the same amount of time as the pork chops. You can also add some diced onion if you like.
If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this recipe in a slow cooker. Just cook the pork chops on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8-10 hours. Once the pork chops are cooked, add the potatoes and cook for another 2-3 hours.
Try adding some herbs and spices to the pork chops before cooking for even more flavor. Some good options include rosemary, oregano, paprika, and garlic powder.
To make this recipe even heartier, try adding some cooked bacon or sausage to the potatoes. Just make sure to cook the bacon or sausage before adding it to the potatoes.
