Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. To a pot of boiling water, add salt and potatoes and cook for 20 minutes until tender. Drain the potatoes and place in a large bowl. Mash the potatoes and add 3 tablespoons butter, cream, vanilla, salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm. To a large hot ovenproof saute pan, add 1/2 cup of the oil and heat. Season the pork chops with Creole seasoning. Dredge the pork chops in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Place the pork chops in the oil and pan fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the pan from the heat and place in the preheated oven. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. To a hot saute pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and melt. Add apples and saute for 5 minutes, until beginning to soften. To the apples, add lemon juice, cane syrup and bourbon and cook until apples are caramelized. To Finish: Place the potatoes on a large platter. Top with the fried pork chops and top with the apples. Plate with the southern cooked greens.
