Stewed potatoes with smoked meats

Before you start cooking, you need to prepare all the necessary ingredients so that you don't forget anything later. From a huge assortment of all kinds of smoked meats, my family prefers pork ribs. Although they can be perfectly replaced with any at your discretion.
Pork ribs are washed and cut into pieces. It is best to take small, fleshy and not spiked ribs. They usually have more tasty cartilage, not hard bones. Then the stewed potatoes will turn out fragrant, rich and without foreign tastes.

Potatoes, carrots and onions are cleaned and washed. Finely chop the onion, grate the carrots on a coarse grater. In a deep frying pan, you can take a saucepan, pour vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Now put the vegetables and fry for 3-5 minutes.

Add the prepared pork ribs and fry for 5 minutes over medium heat. Cut the potatoes into medium cubes and put them in a frying pan, mix. Pour in the water, close the lid and simmer for 10 minutes. Potatoes should almost reach readiness.

Add tomato sauce and mix. It can be replaced with mashed fresh or canned tomatoes. Salt and pepper to taste, close the lid and bring it to full readiness. You don't need to use a lot of different spices, it will interrupt the incomparable aroma of potatoes and smoked meats. In addition, such potatoes can be cooked not only in a frying pan on the stove, but also in the oven or in a slow cooker. Well, if you have the opportunity to cook it in a Russian stove in a cast iron, you will never forget this taste.

It is best to serve such potatoes in just a few hours. Immediately after cooking, you need to remove the potatoes and wrap them in a warm blanket, which will allow them to infuse and reveal the whole taste. But after cooling and warming up, it does not lose its original taste.

Such potatoes look best when served in earthenware and decorated with herbs. It can be parsley, green onions or celery leaves. You can serve any salties to such potatoes, especially if they are homemade or a good mug of cold, fresh milk.

Bon appetit.
