Pork chops are oven baked with potatoes, tomatoes and sauerkraut in this easy and delicious sheet pan dinner recipe. 

Oven Baked Pork Chops with Potatoes

As a lifelong cook and food blogger of close to 7 years, I don’t often make the same dinner more than once. I actually love the challenge of working with whatever ingredients are in season or whatever I happen to have on hand. Nothing excites me more than coming up with something healthy and delicious day after day.

That said, there are certain tried and true family recipes that I go to again and again including my mom’s famous baked pork chops with sauerkraut. While any type of potato works for this easy one-pan dinner recipe, I happened to have a bag of these gorgeous Chilean Splash potatoes on hand from The Little Potato Company.

My mom would serve this dish regularly growing up and continues to make it for us during our frequent Sunday dinner gatherings. Every time I take a bite of the perfectly cooked pork and potatoes coated in tomatoes, caraway seeds and sauerkraut I am immediately transported to a happy time in my childhood.

Now that I’m a mother myself, I love making this for my two little boys. The best part? It’s a one-pan sheet pan dinner that takes just 10 minutes to throw together in a roasting pan before popping it in the oven while it bakes for an hour. It couldn’t be easier or more delicious.

Your fork is waiting.

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

    This sounds delicious- the ultimate comfort food! My family always had pork and sauerkraut for New Years, but I haven’t made it for a long time. I might have to make it this year with some Bubbies!

    Oh, I love anything that involves sauerkraut! It must be the Eastern European in me :) And my daughter is obsessed with The Little Potato Co potatoes. I’ll have to add this to our menu.

    This dish brings back memories for me, too, even though I grew up on Hungarian food. My mother made something very similar to this, though she did it on the stove top. I like the idea of doing it as a sheet pan dinner – one of my new favorite cooking techniques (simple to do, easy clean-up).
