            Instructions (Step by Step)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

            1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n
              \n
            1. Place cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water.<\/li>\n
            2. Bring to a boil and cook for 15\u201320 minutes<\/strong>, until fork-tender.<\/li>\n
            3. Drain well and return potatoes to the pot.<\/li>\n
            4. Add butter and warm milk.<\/li>\n
            5. Mash until smooth and creamy.<\/li>\n
            6. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and keep warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Warm milk helps keep the potatoes fluffy and smooth.<\/em><\/p>\n

              2. Cook the Corn on the Cob<\/strong><\/h2>\n
                \n

              4. Sprinkle lightly with salt and cover to keep warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                3. Prepare the Pork Chops<\/strong><\/h2>\n

                1. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels.<\/li>\n
                2. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and herbs.<\/li>\n
                3. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  4. Pan-Sear the Pork Chops<\/strong><\/h2>\n
                    \n
                  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.<\/li>\n

                    3. Add green beans and saut\u00e9 for 5\u20137 minutes<\/strong>, until tender-crisp.<\/li>\n
