In this decadent dinner we sous vide pork chops until juicy and then sear them in a hot skillet to develop a rich and flavorful exterior crust. We then use the pan drippings as the base for our pork gravy, which we serve on top of fluffy mashed potatoes. If you use cut Yukon gold potatoes we do not recommend scheduling this meal, as the Suvie Starch Cooker is not refrigerated; if you would like the ease of scheduling this meal, we recommend using baby potatoes instead.

3) Once the potatoes have finished cooking, transfer to a large bowl with the butter and mash thoroughly. Gently stir in the milk, season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside until ready to serve.
