Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops With Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-7 ounces each) boneless pork loin chops, 1 1/4-inch thick (I use Niman Ranch all natural pork, the best!)
  • 4 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon
  • 4 small sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • Balsamic rosemary butter (recipe follows):
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1/4 cup aged balsamic vinegar
  • leaves from 1 rosemary sprig, finely chopped (about 2 tbsp)
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • blue cheese mashed potatoes (recipe follows):
  • 4 large idaho potatoes (about 3 pounds)
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used Kerrygold butter)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 ounces Roquefort, or other French blue cheese such as Bleu d'Avergne or Fourme d'Ambert (I used Creamy Danish Blue and it was delicious)
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves

We Made This Last Night (he Grilled; I Did Everything Else, Ha Ha). We Couldn't Stop Telling Each Other How Good It Was. Had A Nice Bottle Of Turley Zin With It. I Love That We Can Eat At Home But Feel Like We Are At Our Favorite Restaurant :-)
