Oven Baked Pork Chops with Potatoes

Ingredients
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tbsp ketchup 
1 tbsp soy sauce 
2 tbsp brown sugar 
1 tbsp olive oil 
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp apple cider vinegar 
4 pork chops / cutlets , around 7-8oz each including bone 
1.6 lb baby potatoes, cut in about 1" cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 430F (standard oven) or 390F (fan forced / convection).

Toss potatoes in oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter on baking tray.  Place in oven for 15 minutes (giving them a head start).
    
Meanwhile, mix the Rub ingredients together in a small bowl (Worcestershire through vinegar).  Slather the pork on both sides with the Rub, reserving some Rub for basting.  Take the tray out of the oven. Toss potatoes then push them to the edge.  Place pork on tray. Bake for 15 minutes. 
    
Remove tray from oven, flick to broiler/grill on high (shelf about 8" from heat source).  Flip pork, spoon over reserved rub and dab on sides.  Broil 7 - 10 minutes until pretty well caramelised.  Remove from oven. Use a brush to get the golden juices off the tray and dab it onto the pork - this is key for flavour and colour! Pop it back under the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish off.
    
Serve, scraping the juices on the tray onto the pork, then garnish with parsley if desired.
