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 starch zone is not refrigerated; if you would like the ease of scheduling this meal we recommend using baby potatoes instead.
