Slow cooking the pork with fennel seed gives it a fantastic flavor. The potatoes are good enough to make a dish on their own!

    I made the pork the other night for dinner. It was delicious. Great flavor. I did not make the potatoes but would like to. I served the pork with an orzo side dish. Whole family enjoyed it! Thanks for the recipe.
