Method

Cook the potato in lightly salted boiling water for 10 minutes, or until tender.
Meanwhile, season the pork chop with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tsp oil and 1 tsp margarine/butter in a frying pan and fry the pork chop over a high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, to make the hash, heat 1 tsp oil in the same frying pan used for the pork and add the onion, potato, and apple. Season with salt and pepper and fry over a medium heat for 10-15 minutes, only stirring every 3-4 minutes to allow the underside to brown and crisp a little each time. Continue to fry until the hash is evenly browned.
While the hash and pork are cooking, make the sauce. Pour the stock into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, add the mustard, cream and remaining margarine/butter and simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until the sauce develops a thicker consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remember to keep an eye on the pork and the hash so they do not overcook.
Serve the pork chop alongside the hash and pour on the mustard sauce.
