Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Greek oregano
- Juice of 4 large lemons
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 pork chops (about 3/4-inch thick)
- 7 medium potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Mix together 1/2 cup of the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the oregano, half of the lemon juice and the garlic. Marinate the pork chops for at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, drizzle a very small amount of the olive oil over the potatoes. Toss with the remaining oregano, some salt and pepper. Place the seasoned potatoes on a shallow baking sheet and pour the remaining olive oil, lemon juice and 1/2 cup water in the gaps between the potatoes (do not pour over the potatoes-you will wash off the oregano!). Bake until golden and crispy, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the pork chops to medium-well, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with the potatoes.
