Step 1
Cut the 2 large potatoes into thin fries. Toss with 2 tbsp vegetable oil and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 25-30 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Step 2
While fries bake, pat the 2 pork chops dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Let rest on a plate.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine 3 cups coleslaw mix, 1 grated carrot, 3 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Stir until well coated; season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Serve the pork chops with the fries and a generous scoop of coleslaw on the side.
Step 6
If you like, add a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of paprika to the coleslaw for extra zing.
