Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Place the browned pork chops on top, layer the remaining potatoes, and pour the rest of the cheese sauce.
- Top with remaining cheddar cheese and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired.
