Expert Tips

Make sure to use the red-skinned, orange-fleshed sweet potatoes for this recipe.
We suggest using boneless, 3/4-inch pork chops, which is what we based our cook time on, but if your chops are thicker or thinner, you’ll need to adjust the cooking time. Using a meat thermometer helps to take the guess work out of determining when your pork chops are done.
