  1. In a large saucepan, combine the beet and potato. 
  2. Add enough water to cover by 2-inches, and bring to a boil over high heat.

  4. Peel and coarsely chop the beet and potato, and then transfer to a food processor. 
  5. Add 2-tablespoons butter, and puree until smooth. 
  6. Season with salt and pepper; keep warm.

  10. Turn the chops, and add the garlic, sage, and 2-tablespoons butter. 
  11. Cook until the chops are golden and the thickest part registers 135F, about 7 minutes longer. 
  12. Transfer the chops to a plate, and let stand for 5 minutes. 
  13. Whisk the juice and 2-tablespoons butter into the skillet; season with salt. 
  14. Strain the sage butter through a fine sieve over the chops; reserve the crispy sage leaves and discard the garlic.

  17. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the chard is wilted, 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. 
  18. Serve the pork chops with the beet puree and Swiss chard, and garnish with the sage leaves.
