Pork Chops and Parmesan Potatoes

We're finally getting back into the grilling routine. Pulled 2 thick bone-in chops from the freezer. My wife prefers boneless, but if it doesn't have a bone in it, it's not a real chop to me.

Did mine with an herb wet rub of EVOO, parsley, oregano, sage, onion and garlic powder. We didn't have the rosemary or thyme I woulda used as well. I also scored my skin to get some crispy bites at the end.

Trimmed Melinda's (she doesn't like the excess backfat), and marinaded hers in Lawrys Schezuan Sweet and Sour BBQ sauce. Removed skin from fat, and saved the beautiful fat to be made into lard at later date.

Chops went indirect at 400* for about an hour before a final sear about 2 minutes each side. While they were indirect I set up potatoes. Cubed into bites and blanched all day. Got deepfryer going at 325 or so. 15 minutes then lay them on paper towels and allow to cool. Put them back in for 5 minutes to really crisp them up. When they come out and still wet with oil, cover them in salt, Kosher salt, grated parm, and pepper. DELICIOUS!

Sorry, no pics of potatoes of final plate. It was a late dinner, and was more interested in eating. Meal was delicious, and the fat and skin that looks burned was really good too.
 
very nice looking chops!!! You are also right a pork chop with out a bone is not a chop, but I still call boneless pork loin cut chops.
