Step 1
1. First, prepare the meat. It's best to use a piece of lean pork. Wash the meat thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add a little paprika and sugar—this will help form a nice crust. Set the pork aside in this state for 15–20 minutes. Optionally, you can add some garlic. Place the pork onto a dry, preheated skillet in one whole piece and sear over high heat on both sides until a light crust forms.

2. Now remove the meat from the heat and let it cool slightly. The classic recipe for potatoes with pork in this version calls for using ground meat. If desired, you can simply chop or shred the meat into fibers. Return it to the skillet, add a little broth or sauce to taste (tomato sauce can be used, for example), and simmer the meat over low heat until fully cooked.
