Pork Chops
I’m not sure what’s going on with me lately but I’ve been making lots of pork chops. I think the gorgeous weather inspires me to fire up the grill and pop some on. And roasted potatoes? Let’s not even go there, that’s my all time favorite side dish. This recipe was inspired by my love for all things meaty, savory, and above all easy! This Ranch Pork Chop And Potato Sheet Pan Dinner delivers lots of savory herbaceous flavor all on one sheet!
What Is A Sheet Pan Dinner?
Sheet pan dinners are super simple, all you have to do is season your meat and potatoes, set it and forget it. You all know my love for one pot dinners and that extends to sheet pan dinners. You’re going to be able to develop so much flavor cooking both of these at the same time on the same pan, which is what we’re trying to achieve with this dish. Seriously guys, dinner never got easier than with these chops.
Ingredients In Ranch Pork Chops
Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
- Olive oil – We want a neutral tasting oil to drizzle over our meat and potatoes.
- Ranch – You’ll need ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix in this recipe, believe me it will deliver a flavor bomb.
- Spices – Smoked paprika, dry oregano, and black pepper.
- Pork – We’re using pork chops today. Either boneless or bone in will work.
- Potatoes – We’re roasting up baby potatoes today, regular sized potatoes won’t roast up as quickly or as well.
- Parsley – It wouldn’t be a Jo Cooks recipe without this herb sprinkled generously on top!
How To Make Ranch Pork Chops With Potatoes
Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.
- Preheat your oven: To 400 F degrees. Spray your handy sheet pan with cooking spray in the meantime.
- Prepare the chops and potatoes: Place potatoes and chops on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle the olive oil over the pork and potatoes and toss well.
- Combine the seasoning: In a small bowl mix together the ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, oregano and black pepper. Rub the seasoning over the pork and the potatoes. I didn’t find the need for additional salt, but feel free to season with salt to taste.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes or until the chops are cooked through and the potatoes are fork tender. The internal temperature of the chops should reach 145 degrees F when cooked. Also please note that all ovens are different, and some may take longer and some may require less time.
- Finish the dish: Garnish with chopped parsley then serve immediately.
Tips For Making The Best Ranch Pork Chops With Potatoes
- If you don’t have baby potatoes on hand, Yukon gold potatoes will work just fine. Just cube them up and cook them as instructed above. Fingerling potatoes are another great option if you’re able to find them at the grocery store.
- The pork chops I used were 1 inch in thickness, try to aim for something similar to be sure the cooking time is accurate and the meat doesn’t dry out.
- For the best chops, look for center cut pork loin rib. It has the right amount of fat for marbling and is bone in to ensure a juicy cut.
- If you have an extra 30 – 60 minutes and really want to set this dish off, try brining your chops. A brine solution is made with water, salt and other things you may prefer like soy sauce or beer. Basic brine ratio is 1 tbsp salt to 1 cup of water.
What To Serve With Ranch Pork Chops
If you’re not a meat and potatoes type, there’s plenty of other delicious side dishes you can try with these chops! I personally love a nice fresh salad on the side, but if you’re looking for something a little special, try these:
- Roasted Veggies
- Creamy Polenta
- Mexican Street Corn Salad
- Mediterranean Couscous Salad
- Brandy Glazed Carrots
And of course, I can’t write a post about a savory meat dish and not recommend my world famous creamy Mashed Potatoes!
Other Ways To Make Ranch Pork Chops And Potatoes
Grill
You can easily make this recipe on the grill! Just cook your chops till they naturally release from the grill, around 4 minutes each side. The potatoes can be wrapped in a little packet made of aluminum foil and cooked for around 20 – 25 minutes.
Storing Leftovers
You can store this dish in a shallow airtight container or wrapped in aluminum foil to ensure it lasts in your fridge for 3 – 4 days. These pork chops can be stored in the same way in the freezer for 2 – 3 months. When ready to eat just allow the chops to thaw in the fridge before warming in the oven.

Although I used baby potatoes you can use regular potatoes cut into cubes. I prefer Yukon gold potatoes, but red skin potatoes work as well. Another option would be to use fingerling potatoes, but usually I don't find these often at the grocery store.
The pork chops used here were 1 inch in thickness.
The sheet pan used is 17.25 x 12.25 x1 inches.

Do u have to add ranch dressing and a dry mix all together,
jo says
I just want to clarify for you that the ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix is one ingredient not two, so you don’t have to mix anything together. It comes in 1 oz packages or you can buy it in jars. If you click on the link in the recipe card, you’ll see what it’s supposed to look like. 🙂
Consetta Caruso says
Could you tell me how to brine the pork chops? The recipe looks so good.
Thank you so much,
Jo Cooks Team says
Give this a try before making your sheet pan dinner: https://food52.com/recipes/30799-simple-brine-for-pork-chops
Keep in mind a brine uses quite a bit of salt so you may want to use a bit less of the ranch seasoning.
Jason R says
Well Jo you’ve done it again. What a nice and quick meal. Wife and daughter loved it. I didn’t have new potatoes so I diced up some Idaho’s and they came out great.
jo says
Glad you guys enjoyed it!
Mandi C says
Delicious, easy, very little prep and clean up. Whole family loves it. Thanks!
Shenandoah Remelius says
Can you make this recipe with chicken breast?

Brooke says

Jennifer A Prevatt says
This was so good, my 7 year old even went for 2nd which is very rare with him.
Wayne Copeland says
So, in your description, you say that we’re going to use BOTH the Hidden Valley Salad Dressing AND Seasoning mix. But in reality from reading the recipe, the only thing we actually used is the seasoning mix with comes in 1oz packets. The seasoning mix is called “Hidden Valley Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix”. So your wording in the break down description (not in the recipe card) is extremely confusing…but it also makes me think that maybe you didn’t actually cook this recipe yourself. Or if you did, and you DID use some Liquid salad dressing too, please update the recipe with that so we can try it! Thanks!
Joanna Cismaru says
Hi Wayne,
Sorry about the confusion. I fixed the post, it’s just “Hidden Valley Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix”, no salad dressing used here at all. You’ll be happy to know I cook all my recipes myself, and this one is one that makes its appearance in my kitchen often.
Wayne Copeland says
I’m really glad to hear that you do cook them!!! There was a website I used to frequent for recipes until I found out that the “chef” never actually cooked any of the recipes on his page. He was just taking existing recipes and copying them adding his own little jazz to it. He was just trying to make money off the links on his page without testing any of the recipes out first. I’ve been a little leery since then.
I’m in the process of cooking it right now! I’m coming a double recipe so I’m using two sheet pans, one for the potatoes and one for the pork chops! I’ll let you know how they turn out!
Mars says
Brined then seasoned according to recipe, only making pork chops like this from now on. So tasty!
Joanna Cismaru says
So happy you liked them!
Sherry says
This is soooo good! My husband loved it too!
Lori S. says
Loved these chops and potatoes with the extra bonus of having it all in one pan. My yukon gold potatoes were big so I baked them for awhile before adding the pork chops. Did not need any extra salt since the ranch dressing mix was good for us as it was. A nice Sunday dinner with green beans and rolls. A definite keeper! Made and reviewed for the Whats on the Menu tag game.
Vic says
How long to bake with 1/2 inch chops?
Nicole Beaulieu says
That’s exactly how thick ours were! This bake time will work for you.
Roger Cahoon says
VERY GOOD1 QUICK AND SIMPLE1
Jana says
THis as such a great meal! Unfortunately my baby potatoes didn’t get done all the way and my pork chops dried out a bit, so next time I’ll either cut the baby potatoes in half or just use cut up potatoes. The seasoning was absolutely scrumptious and he house smelled amazing while it was cooking. I threw some fresh green beans on one end of the baking sheet and it was such a pleasure to pull out inebriate pan and serve dinner from it!
Kim says
Okay, made this last night and it was such a hit! Added the pork chops 10 minutes into the cook time as some comments suggested, and we added asparagus at the end. So good! Seriously, definitely a keeper recipe. In fact we have more red potatoes in the pantry and I’m making them tonight with this seasoning mix. They’re crazy good! Thank you so much for sharing!
Dwayna Myers says
Last 10 minutes added fresh green beans with a sprinkle of ranch seasoning. Very good will add to my recipes. Thank you.
Ashley says
Love this recipe. It’s my go to when it’s a crazy weekday or even on the weekend. Super easy to make.
Betty says
Easy to make the pork chops were very flavorful however, I didnt have enough of the ranch mix to put on my potatoes it was ok though I just put some garlic salt and olive oil over them and kept it moving. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Jeanie says
Very yummy and easy to make
