"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

1 lb. small fingerling potatoes
2 cloves garlic
kosher salt
4 1/2-inch thick boneless pork loin chops (5oz. each)
2 tsp. chopped fresh sage
freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Put the potatoes and garlic in a saucepan, cover with cold water and season with salt. Cover and bring to a boil, the uncover and continue cooking until tender, about 15 minutes. Cover and set aside.
Meanwhile, rub both sides of the pork chops with the sage, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat, then add 1 tsp. olive oil and sear the chops until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tsp. olive oil. Add the onion and apples and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the cider.
Return the chops to the skillet. Cover and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/4 c. liquid. Return the potatoes to the pan, add the buttermilk and mash, adding cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the pork chops, onion and apples. Drizzle with the pan juices.
