For a richer flavor, try searing the pork with a touch of butter in addition to the oil. If you prefer a sweeter dish, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the braising liquid. This recipe also works well with other types of potatoes, such as Yukon gold or fingerling potatoes. Ensure the pressure is fully released before opening the cooker to avoid any accidents.
