I love pork chops and am always looking for new recipes. I found a balsamic recipe on the Weight Watchers message board then I found this one at Heather’s Recipe Site that was exactly the same except for the addition of flour. I like my pork chops fried a little so this was great with the flour. The balsamic glaze added a little zing to them too and the kids even ate them. The potatoes is a Paula Deen recipe. How can you not like potatoes and bacon together. I used white potatoes instead of red just because that is what I had on hand. I also did not use the bell pepper or onion because I am not a fan of either. I need to remember to always half any red wine vinegar in recipes. The taste is too overpowering for me but this was still good. These both got rave reviews from the family.

Red Potato Salad with Bacon
Ingredients:
6 cups cubed red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Salt
2 ounces bacon (2 or 3 strips)
1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color or a combination)
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup sliced scallions (about 2 scallions)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
