A hearty, comforting meal awaits! This pressure cooker recipe brings together tender bone-in pork chops, fluffy baked potatoes, and sweet carrots, all infused with aromatic herbs and spices.

Ingredients

• 6 bone-in pork chops, 1-1.5 pounds each
• 3-4 large baking potatoes, peeled
• 6-8 medium-sized carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Note: You can adjust the quantity of the ingredients according to your personal preference.

Instructions

Press the sauté function on your pressure cooker and heat the olive oil.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the chopped carrots to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

Add the thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pot.

Stir to combine.

Add the bone-in pork chops to the pot, making sure they’re in a single layer.

Add the peeled baking potatoes on top of the pork chops.

Close the lid of the pressure cooker and make sure the valve is set to “sealing”.

Pressure cook on high for 20-25 minutes.

Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.

Open the lid and check that the pork chops are cooked to your desired level of doneness and the potatoes are tender.

Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a bigger crowd, simply multiply the ingredient quantities. If using cayenne pepper, feel free to adjust the amount to your desired level of heat.

For easier potato removal, you can wrap each potato individually in foil before adding to the pressure cooker.

To ensure even cooking, make sure the pork chops are in a single layer at the bottom of the pot. If you prefer your carrots extra tender, add 2-3 minutes to the initial sauté time.

Let the pressure release naturally for the full 10 minutes to ensure the pork chops stay juicy and tender.
