Step 1
1. Fatty pork with meat layers is the main ingredient for this dish. This recipe contains only 3 ingredients that perfectly complement each other. So, cut the pork into thick strips and place them in a frying pan. Our goal is to render it slightly. To do this, fry it in a pan without adding oil over low heat. Gradually, the fat will melt out.

2. Meanwhile, cut the potatoes. Choose any cutting method you prefer. I chose cubes, as potatoes fry faster this way.

Step 3
3. When the fat has rendered, add the potatoes and, if necessary, a little vegetable oil. I don't add it because I render a lot of fat. Finely chop the onion and add it to the pan.

4. Fry until the potatoes are fully cooked. Add salt only at the very end. If you salt the potatoes right away, they will burn, so it's better to do it at the end.
