Sear pork chops

  • Set instant pot on SAUTE mode set on NORMAL heat, add butter & olive oil. When the butter begins to melt add the pork chops and briefly sear them both sides until golden brown. Once done, set them aside on a plate. There will be lots of brown bits stuck at the bottom of the pot, that's ok, we'll be deglaze the pot in the next step. Also, the brown bits will add more flavor to the sauce.

Deglaze pot

  • Pour the water and deglaze the pot well by scraping the sides and the bottom of the pot with the help of a spatula. You need to make sure to loosen any stuck food particles from the bottom of the pot to prevent the burn error! DO NOT rush this step. CANCEL the SAUTE mode once done.

  • Secure the lid of the instant pot, seal the valve and PRESSURE COOK on HIGH PRESSURE for 5 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is over the instant pot will begin to beep perform an immediate quick pressure release manually by moving the valve from the sealing to the venting position.

Notes

  1. Is this recipe spicy? It's not spicy. It has a subtle kick. You'll love it! However, if you are making this for kids or for someone who is heat intolerant just skip adding the red pepper flakes.
  2. Can I use regular potatoes? Yes, you can use regular gold or Yukon gold potatoes diced into 1-1.5 inch cubes. You can use peeled or unpeeled potatoes.
  3. Can I use bone-in pork chops? You can use bone-in pork chops about ¼ inch thick. I will add an additional 2 mins to the cook time and follow the exact same recipe.
  4. Rubbery chewy pork chops: Over searing the pork chops will result in tough, rubbery & chewy pork chops. Briefly sear the chops always!
