HOW TO MAKE OVEN BAKED PORK BITES WITH POTATOES

Step 1: Place the pork bites and the unpeeled potatoes, cut into quarters, in a baking dish.

Step 2: Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, white wine, olive oil and thyme. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).

Step 4: Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the pork bites and potatoes are golden brown. Occasionally baste everything with the sauce to keep it moist and flavorful.

Step 5: Turn off the oven and serve.

RECIPE TIPS

1. To add a little more flavor to the recipe, increase the marinating time to 1 or 2 hours. I know that during the week we want to simplify things and reduce the time we spend in the kitchen as much as possible, but do the following: as soon as you get home, season the pork and potatoes and let them marinate while you do other things.

2. If you don’t have all the ingredients in your pantry or prefer a different type of seasoning, feel free to adapt the recipe. The only ingredients I recommend not changing are the salt, olive oil, white wine, and garlic powder — although the garlic powder can be substituted with freshly chopped garlic cloves.
