Pork Medallions


I had been thinking of how to make pork chops a bit more tasty than usual and I came up with the idea of using panko bread crumbs on them.  Guess what?  They rocked!  This was so tasty and delicious I couldn't stop eating it!  You have to try making this soon!



Preheat the oven to 385 and just dry the 1/2 inch cut pork chops on paper towel and season them right there on the paper.  Then put them in all purpose flour,  bathe them in some beaten eggs with a little bit of water, and then dress them up with the panko breadcrumbs and set them aside to dry.  

While they dry cut your golden potatoes in eights by cutting them half way length wise, then half way again, and then half way again.  Grab a plastic bag and throw them in there!  Then the fun starts when you drench the potatoes with olive oil!  All inside the bag!  Season them with salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and crushed red peppers. Mix it well and then drop all your potatoes onto a baking sheet that has been coated with either butter, olive oil, or pam.  It was very easy and quick to make these!  Get your pork chops and sit them on their baking sheet too.  Make sure they're not too tight so they don't build too much moisture and are allowed to become crispy.  Let the pork and potatoes bake for about 30 minutes.  Flip the pork chops half way through and leave the potatoes in a little longer until they are golden and soft on the inside.  
I prepared a cucumber salsa/salad/condiment with some cilantro, one garlic clove, scallions, one small onion, and two cucumbers chopped up.  I then added some extra virgin olive oil and lime juice!  The lime taste of the salad was perfectly well matched with the pork chops and the potatoes! 

This meal was a lot of fun to prepare and even more fun to eat!  I really loved it!  I couldn't stop eating it!  Try this and you will not regret it!  Season Your Food!
