Pork Chops with Salted Baked Potatoes


 

Mike Coffman

TVWBB Olympian
It looks like it is pork chop week on the TVWBB! My entry consists of pork chops I had cut to
about 1 ½ inch thickness. They were marinated for 3 hours in Goya Mojo Criollo and then one
was seasoned with Penzeys Florida pepper and the other one with Penzeys Chicago Steak seasoning.

The 2 bakers were sprayed with olive oil then covered in kosher salt. Instead of putting them
in a pan this time I opted to just wrap them individually in foil. Put onto the Performer using
lump charcoal.

The pork chops were absolutely moist, tender and delicious. My wife is a big fan of Penzeys Chicago
steak seasoning and loved it on her pork chop. The Florida pepper added a great flavor to my chop.
The potatoes were, as my wife said, "like eating mashed potatoes in a shell". I really like to cook them
on the grill in the salt bath as I believe it does make a difference.

Thanks for looking!
 
Mike I'm really interested in the potatoes. Do you cover them in the oil and salt them completely, then foil? If over direct, about how long?

Thanks,
Rolf

When doing them in the foil Rolf that is what I do. If I do them in an aluminum pan then I will fill the pan about half full of salt and bury the potatoes in the salt and cover tightly with
foil for the 1st hour, then out of the pan until they are done. Cooking them in the foil took about 1:45 minutes indirect with a grill temp of around 400. You could probably get them
finished quicker on direct heat or a higher temp, but I am comfortable with the indirect 375 - 400 temps.
 
Looks fantastic as always bud! Im lucky enough to have both the florida and the chicago mix. Will try em next on my chops. And i will add a baked one aswell to the mix. Bet it was a great dinner.
