Yum, I love Pork Chops and Taters. I use a skillet and a little olive oil. Heat the pan til oil is pretty hot, you want to sear the pork chops when they hit the pan for about 2 minutes on each side. Then reduce heat to a simmer, add about a 1/4 inch of liquid to the pan. (I use water) Simmer until cooked. Do not overcook as they can become very dry quickly. That's why I add the water and turn the burner to low.

Also, I make this at least once a month;
Cut chops into 3 to 4" strips
Peel a few potatoes, diced (white preferred)
Put olive oil in skillet (get hot)
Add potatoes, searing the outside
Add pork strips, sear for 2 minutes on each side or to desired brownness.
Reduce heat to simmer
Add water to cover the bottom of the pan
Cover
Let them cook slowly while you watch your favorite show or mix up a salad!

These are so tender and juicy!
Enjoy!

i assume you want to pre-prepare chips for big family gathering? or for any period of time.

you need good freezing unit
potatoes
chips cutter
knife
3ltr (1 gallon) water with bit of salt and bit of vinegar in it
5kg (11lb) potatoes
table spoon

method:
water solution: to 3ltr (1 gallon) of water add and solve about 6 table spoon of salt and about same amount (6 table spoons) of vinegar (this solution will prevent blackening of the potato cuts), i am adding as well about 3 spoon of sugar to the solution, it allow liquid to cling better to the surface of potatoes, water should be cold, even few ice cubes in it will help
1. wash well your potatoes from debris, sand and whatever junk, remove unsightly, damaged or rotting bits from the potatoes
2. if you have chip machine or slicer - use it! chips should be not thicker than 12mm (1/2"), try not make them thinner than 3mm (1/8"), i do not bother with skinning them, but you may if you have masochistic tendencies. you can do that with knife as well, but will take longer. chips can be cut as straws, plates, sticks. waffle or whatever pattern you have in mind
3. chopped chips drop into the water solution and frequently stir as to allow all surfaces to be covered and prevent browning/blackening of the surfaces (this is oxidation of the surface, it is not poisonous but looks ugly)
4. after all potatoes were used, strain them from water, shake excess water and spread single layer on greaseproof (baking) paper or any other non-stick surface
5. your produce now need to be transferred to the deep freezer and frozen, minimum temperature should be -18c (0f), preffered will be -32c (-25f), if you are living in climate where these temperatures are outside, just put them outside...
6. after deep frozen (about 6h to 12h) divide them and pack them in sealed bags, in suitable portions

that way prepared chips can be stored for months, and if at lower temperature, even for years.

to fry:
have suitable fat at temperature of about 185c (365f), or whatever settings on your fryer is, you do not need defrost them, just directly from the fridge to the fryer, from the moment when they float, about 2min or until golden brown

enjoy!

Spray a 13x9x2 inch baking dish or pan. Take one can of biscuits and peel each one in half, (you'll have 16 pieces). I have used crescent roll dough, but biscuits are easier. Press biscuit pieces to flatten them and place sweet potato to one side of the biscuit. I use frozen sweet potato patties but, you can use canned sweet potatoes (mash them good) for this recipe. Cut the patties in half or use 1 heaping tablespoon of mashed sweet potato and put the sweet potato to one side of the biscuit. Sprinkle with your spices of choice ( pumpkin pie spice,apple pie spice or even just cinnamon). Bring the one side of the biscuit over the other side and press the edges together to seal it really good. Line your dumplings in two rows in your baking dish, sprinkle with your spices of choice. Now, in a saucepan combine 2 cups of water,2 cups of sugar,1 1/2 sticks of butter (or margarine), 1 tablespoon of corn starch, 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Whisk together and put on a medium-high heat until just boiling-- all the time whisking ( to prevent lumps). Soon as it boils pour it over the dumplings. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. When you pull it form the oven sprinkle with cinnamon and serve. If there is any left-over (HAHA!) It reheats well and is still SO_O_O_O fantastic!

Potato bread is a type of bread in which part of the flour is replaced with potatoes.

Do not try it, you will ruin the cooker.

yea you can bake sweet potato in it on the pan 30 min. on each side.

Hi there, I would say if it has the removable ceramic insert that you can remove from the base, it can be put in the oven. Generally all of the crock pots I have ever had or seen do have the removable ceramic pot with a glass lid. Yes these crocks can be put in an oven. Hope this helps.

they have a fuse that blows if the cavity gets to hot looks like a small thermostat
