Answer 9

Always have - always will.  I like mashed potatoes and gravy with breaded pork chops, too.  Has been a favorite of mine for years - along with apple sauce, too.  

With fried pork chops, without breading, you can dip the gravy over your pork chops and your mashed potatoes.  

The taste perfectly sets each other off.  Don't know why - just that I like it.
