Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the yellow potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Spread the seasoned potato slices evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden brown. Toss halfway through cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter. Add the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and 1 teaspoon thyme and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream until the sauce is smooth.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, ensuring the pork chops are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and set aside.
Serve the pork chops topped with the creamy Dijon sauce, alongside a generous portion of roasted potatoes. Optionally, garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
