Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut small pockets in the fatty sides of the pork chops and insert slivers of garlic. Sprinkle the chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chops and cook until nicely browned on each side, about 5-6 minutes. Remove chops from pan and set aside.
Using a heavy, deep baking dish or Dutch oven, arrange half the potatoes and onions on the bottom. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay the chops on top, scatter over the bacon and tarragon. Cover with the remaining potatoes and onions. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Pour over the wine.
Cut a piece of baking parchment to fit over the contents of the dish and lay it on top of the final layer of potatoes and onions.
Bake for 1 hour, 30 minutes adding in the stock halfway through the cooking time.
