Clock

Ingredients

  • 1 lb yellow-flesh potatoes, such as Yukon gold, cut into ½-inch slices
  • 1 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 4 tsp olive oil
  • ¾ tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops, cut 1 inch thick and trimmed
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp fig or apricot preserves
  • 1 tsp sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp Dijon-style mustard

Instructions

Bring up two opposite sides of foil; seal. Fold remaining ends to enclose potato mixture, leaving space for steam.
