Browned, Pork Caramelized Taters

A Grandma recipe, rich, umami, collagen porky goodness too delectable
Browned, Pork Caramelized Taters



For decades Ive been trying to make roast potatoes like my grandmother. But they never got brown enough or had any real flavor.
Until one day I made a pork roast and my memory was jogged!
"Thats right! She made PORK ROAST POTATOES!"
So I bought a cheap pork roast ($3.00) and made these

A large pork roast with a layer of fat (pork loin with ribs)
Salt
Pepper
5 Cubed potatoes, par boiled (half cooked)
water


Roast the seasoned pork roast and potatoes on 350oF for a few hours, until it releases juices that then caramelize into a brown Fond.. You can see the brown fond above.


Remove the pork and add about 1/2 cup of water and scrape up the fond to create a brown liquid that will coat the taters.
Stir the taters to coat and put back in the oven to evaporate the water so the brown fond sticks and adheres to the potatoes and coats them with that lusciously savory caramelized flavor.

Serve with the pork
