Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel and slice the onion thinly. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the pork pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the diced potatoes and season them with the remaining smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to crisp and brown.

Step 6

Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.

Step 7

Return the pork to the skillet and stir to combine with the potato mixture.

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the pork is fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove the lid, stir the dish, and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow any excess liquid to evaporate.

Step 10

Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for garnish. Serve hot.
