Instructions
1
Peel and dice the potatoes, then place them in a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
2
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency and season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, Lawry's seasoned salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup of milk until well combined.
5
Prepare the pork chops by trimming any excess fat and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
6
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.
7
Dip each piece of pork chop into the egg and milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture.
8
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a single layer of the breaded pork chop pieces to the skillet and fry until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
In a large saucepan, combine the 4 cans of cream of mushroom soup with the remaining 1 cup of milk. Stir until smooth and heat over low to medium heat, ensuring that it does not scorch.
10
Once all the pork chop pieces are fried, transfer them directly into the warm cream of mushroom sauce, gently stirring to coat.
