Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss fries with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan; spread in a single layer.

  2. Step 2

    Slide pan into a 425°F oven. Set a timer for 22 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden.

  3. Step 3

    While fries roast, pat pork chops dry. Season generously with oregano, salt, and pepper on both sides.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high until smoking, about 2 minutes. Sear pork chops 3 minutes per side without moving; they should be golden brown with an internal temp of 145°F.

  5. Step 5

    Stir grated cucumber, minced garlic, and lemon juice into yogurt with a pinch of salt. This is your tzatziki.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer pork chops to a plate; serve alongside hot fries and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
