  4. In a bowl, mix heavy cream, garlic, and cheese. Pour this mixture over the pork chops and potatoes.

  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for best results. Add broccoli or spinach for greens or substitute pork with chicken for a lighter version.
