BBQ PORK CHOPS WITH HERB-BUTTER CORN AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes with oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Add corn cobs and roast, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are tender and corn is cooked through and beginning to brown, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix butter, herbs, and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Whisk barbecue sauce and honey mustard in another small bowl.
• Preheat broiler on high and set oven rack about 4" from heat. Line broiler pan or another rimmed baking sheet with foil. Using a pastry brush, slather pork chops with about half of barbecue sauce mixture and transfer to prepared pan; reserve remaining barbecue sauce mixture.
• Broil pork chops, turning and brushing with remaining barbecue sauce mixture halfway through, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Spread each corn cob with 1 Tbsp. herb butter; serve remaining herb butter alongside. Top potatoes with Parmesan.
• Divide pork chops and potatoes among plates. Serve with corn alongside.

TRIPLE-COOKED FRIES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into strips approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick. As you cut them, submerge them in a bowl filled with cold water to prevent oxidizing (turning color).
• Fill a stockpot with cold water, add a little salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lift the potatoes from the cold water with a slotted spoon and cook in the boiling water until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Lift the potatoes from the water and spread out on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Pat the potatoes dry, replace the original layer of paper towels with dry paper towels, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a deep, heavy pot or deep-fat fryer, bring the fat to a temperature of 275°F over medium-high heat.
• Working in batches, fry the chilled potatoes for 3 to 5 minutes before lifting them from the hot oil with a slotted metal spoon and spreading on the baking sheet (no paper towels this time!). Let the oil regain its heat between batches. Chill the potatoes again for about 15 minutes.
• While the potatoes chill, raise the heat under the fat or adjust the thermostat on the fryer and heat the fat to 375°F.
• Fry the chilled potatoes again until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes, working in batches and letting the fat regain its heat between each one. Use tongs or extra-long chopsticks to break the potatoes apart, if necessary, and turn them in the fat so that they brown evenly.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the fries to a shallow bowl. Add the parsley and toss to mix. Season with salt and serve warm.
