- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1 1.5 lb bag The Little Potato Company Terrific Trio

- Drizzle some balsamic vinegar right in the chops and top with fig preserves (1/2 tsp per chop)
- Mash the preserves into the chop with the back of a spoon
- Pour about a 1/4 cup of red wine
- Place pan in oven and bake for 20 minutes
- While the chops are baking, halve the baby potatoes and microwave for six minutes
- Carefully add the potatoes to the pan with the two remaining teaspoons of fig preserves and an additional 1/4 cup of red wine, a splash of balsamic vinegar and the currants.
- Cook for another ten minutes and then allow to rest for five minutes before serving
