Braised Potatoes With Pork

• The Potatoes:
• 5 cups russet potatoes (about 4 medium/large potatoes)
• 1/2 tsp salt + 1/8 tsp pepper for potatoes
• 1/2 tsp Mrs Dash or your favorite seasoning such as Vegeta, (optional)
• 2 Tbsp dill, fresh or frozen (optional)
• The onion/carrot mix:
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium carrots, grated
• 1.5 Tbsp canola oil
• The Meat:
• 1 lb pork (any kind; I used boneless pork sirloin chops)
• 2 large garlic cloves, pressed
• 1/2 tsp salt + 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1.5 Tbsp canola oil
• The Rest:
• 3 Tbsp tomato sauce or 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 oz jar diced pimiento peppers, drained
• 2 1/2 cups water

1. Instructions
2. Cut meat into bite size pieces (about 1/2" thick pieces). Season with 2 pressed garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Stir, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 min.
3. When the meat is almost done marinating, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium/high heat; once the skillet is hot, add 11/2 Tbsp canola oil, grated carrots and chopped onion and saute until golden (5-7 min).
4. Cut potatoes into large chunks (for small potatoes; cut in 1/2 or quarters, for larger potatoes cut into 1/6 th's) Sprinkle potatoes with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper, 2 Tbsp dill (fresh or frozen) and 1/2 tsp Mrs Dash.
5. Heat a dutch oven or a soup pot over medium/high heat. Add 11/2 Tbsp canola oil. Note: preheating the pan helps to sear the meat so it doesn't lose it's juices. Saute your marinated meat until almost fully cooked, stirring frequently (5 min). Stir in 3 Tbsp tomato sauce (or 1 tbsp tomato paste) and stir to combine. Add sauteed carrots/onions, drained pimiento peppers and seasoned potatoes. Pour in 21/2 cups water. Stir lightly to combine and top with a bay leaf. cover and cook over medium heat 30-35 minutes (mine took 35 min) or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
