Not a fan of the soda pop flavor in the chops. The smashed potatoes were good, though.

The chops were a bit dry, but the smashed potatoes were delicious. I would recommend cooking the chops for a shorter amount of time.

This dish is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend using a different type of soda pop, or reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I'm not a big fan of soda pop, but these chops were surprisingly good! The soda pop flavor was subtle and it really complimented the pork. The smashed potatoes were also very good.
