If you are looking for a simple and delicious recipe, potato dish with pork is the perfect choice. This recipe combines the intense flavor of pork with the soft texture of potatoes, creating a dish that delights the senses. Here’s how to achieve a perfect result, step by step.

Ingredients:
- 500 g boneless pork shoulder
- 1 kg of potatoes
- 2 medium onions
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 carrots
- 1 bell pepper (optional)
- 200 ml of meat broth (or water)
- 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
- 1 sprig of fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the potatoes under a stream of cold water. Peel them and cut them into evenly sized cubes to cook evenly. Peel and finely chop the onion, carrots, and garlic. If you choose to use a bell pepper, cut it into cubes.

2. Cooking the meat: In a large pan or pot, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the pork cut into cubes of about 2-3 cm and brown it on all sides for 5-7 minutes until golden. This step is essential to seal in the meat's juices and enhance its flavor.

3. Adding the vegetables: Once the meat is browned, add the onion, carrot, garlic, and bell pepper (if using) to the pot. Sauté the vegetables for 5-6 minutes until they become translucent and release their aromas. You can add the sweet paprika now to give your dish a deeper flavor.

4. Cooking the potatoes: Add the potato cubes to the pot, mixing well to combine with the other ingredients. Then, pour in the meat broth or water, just enough to lightly cover the ingredients. You can add salt, pepper, and thyme to enhance the flavors.

5. Boiling: Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes. Check occasionally and stir gently to prevent sticking. The potatoes should be tender and absorb the flavors of the meat and spices.

6. Finishing the dish: When the potatoes are ready, taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. If you like, you can sprinkle some fresh parsley leaves for an extra touch of freshness.

Serving suggestion: Serve the potato dish with pork hot, alongside a fresh salad or pickles. This combination will balance the rich flavors on your plate, bringing a note of freshness.

Possible variations: You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini or peas, to diversify the recipe. Additionally, you can substitute the pork with chicken or beef, adapting the recipe to your preferences.

Practical tips: Make sure to choose quality potatoes that are waxy (for example, Yukon Gold or red potatoes) to achieve a pleasant texture. It is important to cook on low heat to allow the flavors to develop slowly and achieve a tasty dish.

This potato dish with pork is not only easy to prepare but also brings a comforting flavor, perfect for family meals. Enjoy every bite and savor the result of your work!

This potato dish recipe with pork is very tasty. If you don't like pork, you can replace it with any other type of meat, but keep in mind that the cooking time will change. I first sautéed the meat (boneless pork shoulder). I added the vegetables (carrot, bell pepper, onion, garlic), warm water, and potatoes, and let it boil. Once cooked, I added tomatoes in juice and the necessary spices, and finally sprinkled dill over the potato dish. It is served hot with pickles or a cabbage salad.
