Sheet Pan Pork Chops and Potatoes | 20-Minute Supper

Sheet pan pork chops and potatoes just might be the easiest, most satisfying supper you make all week — and y’all, I made this one completely on a whim and it turned out SO good that I had to share it with you. One pan, a handful of pantry seasonings, 400 degrees, and 20 minutes is truly all it takes to get a hot, hearty supper on the table without the stress.

This is the kind of real-life, no-measuring, throw-it-together cooking that I love. Nothing fancy. Nothing fussy. Just simple food that tastes like you worked way harder than you did — and that’s always a win in my book!

What You’ll Need

This supper comes together with just a few basics you probably already have on hand.

For the Pork Chops:

• Bone-in pork chops (I used 2 — one per person)
• Avocado oil (just a light drizzle)
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Seasoning salt
• Dried thyme
• Black pepper

For the Potatoes:

• Quartered potatoes (I left the skin on — more flavor!)
• Quartered onion
• Avocado oil (just a drizzle to coat)
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Seasoning salt
• Dried thyme
• Black pepper

That’s it! Same seasoning blend for both. I don’t measure — I just season generously and trust the process. You’ll know it’s right when it smells amazing going into the oven.

How to Make Sheet Pan Pork Chops and Potatoes

This is one of those recipes that practically makes itself, and I love that about it.

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes and Onion

Quarter your potatoes and onion and toss them into a bowl. Drizzle a little avocado oil over them and toss to coat. Then sprinkle on your garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, thyme, and black pepper. Toss it all together until everything is nicely coated.

I love using avocado oil for high-heat roasting because it has a higher smoke point than olive oil — if you want to geek out on the science of it, Healthline has a great breakdown of avocado oil benefits worth a quick read!

Step 2: Season the Pork Chops

Lay your pork chops out on a foil-lined sheet pan. Give them a light drizzle of avocado oil and then season both sides generously with the same seasoning blend — garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, thyme, and black pepper. Don’t be shy here. That crust is everything.

Step 3: Arrange and Bake

Spread your seasoned potatoes and onions around the pork chops on the same sheet pan. Pop it all in the oven at 400°F and bake for 20 minutes.

That is it, y’all. 20 minutes.

Step 4: Plate It Up and Enjoy!

When it comes out, the pork chops are golden and juicy, the potatoes have a little crisp on the outside and are tender on the inside, and your whole house smells incredible. I served mine with some crock pot peas alongside it and it made for a really full, cozy plate.

Tips for the Best Results

Use bone-in pork chops. They hold more moisture and tend to stay juicier in a high-heat bake. Boneless work too but watch the cook time — they can dry out faster.
Don’t skip the avocado oil on the potatoes. It helps them get those slightly crispy edges and carries the seasoning beautifully.
Cut your potatoes consistently. Quartered works great — just try to keep the pieces close to the same size so they cook evenly.
Line your pan with foil. This is my secret to easy cleanup. Everything lifts right off and you’re done.
Season generously. This is not the place to be timid! Layer on the garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, thyme, and pepper without fear.

What to Serve With Sheet Pan Pork Chops Potatoes

I served mine with crock pot peas, which I cooked separately because honestly I wasn’t even planning this meal — I was going to bake the peas or I would have added some green beans right to the pan. And now I know for next time!
Some other great sides:

• Green beans (just throw them right on the pan if you plan ahead!)
• Roasted corn
• A simple side salad
• Biscuits (always yes)
• Southern-style butter beans

Can I Make This Ahead?

You can absolutely season the pork chops and toss the potatoes ahead of time and keep them covered in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. This is great if you want to throw dinner in the oven the moment you walk in the door. Just slide the pan in and let the oven do the work!
