ingredients

3 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¹⁄₄ teaspoon thai red chili paste
3 tablespoons half-and-half
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 small red onion, finely chopped
¹⁄₂ golden delicious apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
¹⁄₃ cup dry breadcrumbs
4 (5 -6 ounce) boneless center cut pork chops
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
¹⁄₄ teaspoon onion powder

directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F
Roast the sweet potatoes. Peel and mash them. There should be 3 cups.
Reduce the oven to 350°F.
For the gravy, in a bowl combine 2 1/3 cups of the sweet potatoes with the butter, chili paste, and half-and-half. Season it to taste with salt and pepper.
Spread the creamy potatoes to cover the bottom of an 8" square baking dish. Set aside.
For the stuffing, in a second bowl, combine the remaining sweet potato with the onion, apple, and breadcrumbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Make a 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" pocket in each chop. Pack the stuffing generously into the pockets.
Combine the paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and onion powder in a small bowl.
Rub 1 side of each chop with this mixture and set them seasoned side down on top of the sweet potatoes in the baking dish. Rub the remaining seasoning on top of each chop.
Cover the pan with foil.
Bake for 35 minutes.
Uncover and bake the chops 10 minutes longer, until they are nicely browned on top. Serve immediately.

Hello, Everyone! My husband and I met in college, at Viginia Tech. GO HOKIES!! My major was Nutrition. The science of food is amazing to me. I love to cook and love to eat even more! Currently, I do not work outside our home. We have a baby boy, who is 2 now. I love to see how he decides to eat his food and what he thinks after tasting it. For fun, I enjoy making new recipies and trying to come up with my own, which I call train wrecks. My favorite recipes are ones that do not have a long list of ingrdients and the ingredients it calls for are ones that I generally keep in the pantry. It makes me feel good when my husband tells me the meal I have prepared is a keeper and one to make again. I love him even more when he tells someone else about something that I make. The most feel good thing for me is when my mom asks for the recipe. My mother is the greatest domestic "Chef de Cuisine", or Head of the Kitchen, in my opinion. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
