Directions
- Boil the diced sweet potatoes in a pot of water until tender, about 10–15 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler with the rack about 6 inches from the heat.
- Put the pork chops in a baking dish, rub with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Broil the pork until cooked through, about 7–9 minutes per side, checking for doneness.
- Wash and dry the greens, then transfer them to a medium bowl.
- Cut the orange into segments by removing the rind and pith and peeling each membrane; add the segments to the greens, along with the dried cranberries.
- Whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Peel and mince the garlic.
- Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, and mash with broth, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Plate the pork with the sweet potato mash on the side and top the greens with the dressing; serve together.
Two tips
- Make the salad dressing ahead and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to dress the greens.
- If you have leftovers, the mashed potatoes reheat well; you can add a splash of broth to loosen them when reheating.
