Festive Pork
Ingredients

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
The recipe is the same for any amount of meat from 1.5 to 3 kg.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 375°F with a baking tray inside.
Step 3
Take a piece of pork neck and carefully stuff it with garlic. P.S. Just a side note: in recent years, I find myself in a quiet stupor when I see factory packages labeled 'LARD' salted, smoked – it doesn't matter. The associative line leads me to thoughts of dismemberment. Well, never mind...
Step 4
Cut the salted lard into small pieces. This will serve as a bed for the pork and potatoes and create wonderful cracklings.
Step 5
Season the pork with salt, lightly pepper it, brush it with olive oil, insert a sprig of rosemary into it, and wrap it in foil.
Step 6
Place the lard and meat on the hot baking tray and leave it in the oven for 1 hour.
Step 7
While the meat is cooking, peel, wash, and cut the small potatoes in half.
Step 8
After an hour, take the baking tray out, remove the foil, drizzle the meat with melted fat and juice, set the cracklings aside on a separate plate, and add the potatoes.
Step 9
Cook the meat with the potatoes for another hour. Don't forget to drizzle the potatoes with fat and juice. I do this about 3-4 times during the hour.
Step 10
To make the time pass more quickly, I suggest having a drink and snacking on the ready cracklings.
Step 11
Enjoy your meal!
