Directions

1. Using paper towels, pat chops dry. Season generously with salt and pepper and set aside for at least 15 minutes, up to an hour.
2. Meanwhile, make the potatoes: Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until very tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
3. While potatoes are cooking, cook corn: place corn over medium heat on a gas stovetop, directly on the grate over the burner. Cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides, about 5 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then cut kernels from cob.
