Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make pork and potato stew in a pot? Gather your ingredients. Peel the potatoes and rinse them clean. You can use pork with a little fat on it, but ideally boneless.
Step 2:

Cut the meat into small pieces.
Step 3:

We'll cook everything right in the pot — a nonstick pot works well. Add a little vegetable oil and the cut-up meat. Brown it until golden. At first the meat will release its juices and seem to be stewing; just keep it on the heat. The liquid will cook off and the meat will start to brown.
Step 4:

Peel and cut up the onion and carrot — finely chop the onion and grate the carrot. Add them to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for another 4–5 minutes, until the vegetables give off that familiar toasty aroma.
Step 5:

Cut the potatoes into chunks.
Step 6:

Stir the tomato paste into a little water.
Step 7:

Add the cut potatoes to the pot and pour in the tomato mixture. Season with salt and spices to taste. Add hot water so it comes up to just below the level of the potatoes. Stir, cover, and simmer over low heat for 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
Step 8:

You can add more water for more sauce. Spoon the finished pork stew onto plates and serve. Enjoy!

You can use any other meat in this dish besides pork. Just keep in mind that the cooking time, flavor, and calorie count will change — beef, for example, takes longer than pork, while chicken breast or turkey cooks faster.
It's best to cook with filtered or bottled water that has a neutral taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind it can give the dish an unpleasant off-taste.
Since everyone's sense of salty, sweet, bitter, spicy, and sour is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste. If you're using a seasoning for the first time, remember that some are easy to overdo — chili pepper, for example.
