Preheat oven to 450°; slice potatoes in half, mix with 1 tbsp oil, salt/pep + fave spices (we like garlic powder), then spread on a sheet pan cut side down; roast 15-18 min until tender; reduce oven to 400°

Meanwhile, remove bay leaf from pork; using half the pork, chop into 2-inch chunks; heat skillet over med-high, add pork + sauté 4-5 min until soft; break up pork using forks + sear in one layer 2-3 min more until crisp

Remove potatoes from oven, flip + scatter pork on top; sprinkle half the bag of cheese over potatoes then return to oven 5-6 min til cheese is melty

Divide between plates + dig in!
