Home-style pork with potatoes - general principles of cooking
• Almost all homemade recipes are united by simplicity and speed of cooking, as well as an affordable "budget" set of products. Pork and potatoes can be fried, baked in a sleeve or in a pan in the oven, stewed in pots, cooked in a slow cooker. Complementing various products to the main ingredients, and applying various heat treatment methods, they get completely different dishes.
• How tasty the dish will be depends not only on compliance with prescription recommendations, but also on the right choice of products. The meat should be fresh, with a dense fiber structure and not weathered, without an unpleasant odor. When pressing the pulp, there should be no dents.
• It is advisable to purchase fresh or chilled meat, although frozen is allowed. Slices of fresh pork are soaked in water before use so that blood comes out of them. Frozen meat is thawed at room temperature without being removed from the bag.
• Before use, the pieces of pork must be washed with water, then carefully dried and proceed to cutting. They remove everything superfluous: the remaining tendons, dense films, hanging pieces of fat, and then cut, according to a specific recipe.
• It is better to take non-digestible potatoes for frying and baking, and vice versa for stewing. Potato tubers can be cut into cubes or slices, the main thing is that the slices are the same size.

• Before frying, dry not only meat, but also potatoes. Excess moisture will prevent the potato pieces from browning.
• If the meat is slightly beaten, it will be juicier and cook faster. It is especially important to do this before baking, so that the potatoes and pork are steamed evenly.
• A dish stewed in pots will have a rich meat taste if you take pork on the bone, and even better - ribs.
