For a lower-fat version, bake the chops. Arrange the coated chops on a baking sheet, spray lightly with oil, and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Increase the number of green chillies to 3-4 or add 1/4 tsp of red chilli powder to the sausage mixture for an extra kick.
Add 1/4 cup of grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese to the potato and sausage mixture for a delicious, gooey center.
