Grapefruit Pork Chop Casserole with Red Skin Smashed Potatoes

Matt and I had his parents over for dinner tonight. I had three grapefruits that I received from work so I have been scouring the internet for a good recipe with grapefruit. Finally, I came across this simple, delicious casserole. The tartness of the grapefruit juice, paired with the mild flavor of the cabbage were a perfect match with the pork chops.
