Pork and Potato Stew Recipe
Chunks of potatoes and tender-juicy meat coated in sauce that is created from carrots, onions and potatoes and bell pepper.
This recipe is one of our signature dishes. I always have the ingredients on hand and it’s one of our kids’ favorite meals to enjoy. Therefore, when I run out of dinner ideas, I go for Pork and Potato Stew.
Potato Stew
This Pork and Potato Stew is a favorite of ours and a nice change from beef or chicken. Enjoy this recipe cooked on the stovetop or in a crock pot. I love to serve this with bread!
The tender, juicy pork and perfectly cooked chunks of potatoes are coated in a delicious sauce formed by vegetables and spices.
It can be served as a main course or meat and potatoes or as a stew.
Pork and Potato Stew has carrots and onions to give it a rich and hearty flavor, made with simple ingredients that are most likely kitchen staples, all cooked in one pan.
What Pork Part is Best for Pork Stew Recipe?
I used pork shoulder for this recipe and cut it into chunks. Beef can also be used, but I suggest that you add more cooking time to make the beef tender.
As mentioned above, tender pork comes from either a nice marbling of fat or the right cook time. A marbled cut of pork like a roast or shoulder will need to cook longer to tenderize. If using a loin or chop, shorter cooking time is preferred to keep the tenderness.
What Potatoes are Best for Stew?
Our favorite potatoes to use for this dish are the Yukon potatoes, probably because no one would eat it with other types of potatoes. The gold potatoes have a perfect amount of starch and don’t fall apart as much.
If your family prefers russet or red potatoes, you can definitely use either and adjust the salt and pepper amount so that the braised potatoes don’t turn out bland in taste.
How to Make Pork and Potato Stew
Cut the pork shoulder into bite size pieces. Heat a pan over medium/high heat. Add 5 tbsp oil. Saute meat until brown fully cooked, around 15 min. per side.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium/high heat; once the skillet is hot, add 3 Tbsp oil. Add chopped onion and saute until golden (6 min.), then add the carrot and saute until golden (7 min.)
Return the pork chunks, add bell pepper, salt, black pepper, basil, garlic powder, paprika.
Add potatoes, 1 liter of water and cook for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with dill and parsley, and leave for 15 min.
Pork and Potato Stew is Ready!
Bon appetit!
