Ingredients:
1 to taste salt and pepper
4 Each apricots, dried
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425. Put potatoes in pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Give them 3 to 4 minutes-parboil-drain and allow to steam dry. Lay pork chops on a board and insert small paring knife horizontally into the side of each chop to make a hidden pocket.

Set aside 8 of the largest sage leaves. Add 8 more leaves to the food processor with a peeled clove of garlic, the prosciutto, butter, apricots and a pinch of salt and pepper and give it a whiz. Push the flavored butter into the pockets.

Dress the sage leaves you set aside with a little oil and press one side of them into some flour. Press a leaf, flour side down, onto each side of the chops so you have 2 leaves per chop. Leave the chops on a plate, covered with plastic wrap, to come to room temperature while you prepare the potatoes.

Slice the pancetta into matchsticks, as thick as a pencil. Put them into a large roasting pan with the potatoes, the remaining sage leaves and the remainder of your whole unpeeled garlic cloves. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and put the pan into the preheated oven. After 10 minutes, put a frying pan on the burner and get it very hot. Add a touch of olive oil and put in your seasoned pork chops. Fry for 10 minutes, until golden and crisp on both sides, then remove the potatoes from the oven-they should be light golden by now-and place the chops on top. Put the pan back into the oven until the chops are done, 10 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Remove from oven and serve.
