Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 1 lb pork shoulder
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1 lb pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Peel and cut the 4 medium potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Slice the 1 large onion.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add the potatoes and onion, season with the remaining 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden and tender, about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Return the pork to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 5 more minutes until heated through and flavors meld.

  6. 6

    Serve hot, straight from the skillet.
