1 ounce ranch dressing mix (1 oz package)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions

- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 30 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
