Crispy pork and potatoes combine for a meal that’s good any time of day.
WHY IT WORKS
Par-boiling the potatoes gelatinizes starches so that they can crisp up better when the potatoes are subsequently fried.
Cooking all ingredients—potatoes, pork shoulder, and vegetables—separately ensures that each component of the hash is perfectly cooked.
Leftover roast pork shoulder can be easily repurposed and used in simple recipes like this one, avoiding the onset of leftovers palate fatigue.
Now that we are a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems like for most people the initial flurry of home-cooking activity has subsided. But we still have to cook and eat, every day. One way to relieve some of the pressure of cooking so many meals at home is to embrace “batch” cooking, making things like big roasts, such as this slow-cooked pork shoulder, and then getting creative with the leftovers. Take this crispy pork hash as an example, which uses meat leftover from that roasted pork shoulder to produce a hearty crowd-pleaser that can be served any time of day, whether for a weekend breakfast or weeknight dinner.
