Preparation Steps
1
Start by simmering the smoked pork shoulder in boiling water for 30 minutes, allowing it to tenderize and become flavorful. While the pork is cooking, prepare the potatoes.
2
Peel and wash the potatoes, then dice them. Place the diced potatoes in a pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt.
3
Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Check for doneness with a fork; they should be easily pierced.
4
Remove the cooked pork shoulder from the water and slice it thinly. Keep warm until serving.
5
Drain the cooked potatoes, then add the butter and milk. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to create a smooth puree. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
To serve, place a generous portion of mashed potatoes on a plate and arrange the sliced smoked pork shoulder alongside. Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley.
