  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Rub the pork belly thoroughly with the salt, making sure some salt gets down between the scores.

    Roast the pork belly until the meat is tender and the crackling is deeply crisp. Rest it before slicing.

  3. 03

    Bring the water to a boil, add the potato, and simmer until almost tender. Drain and let them dry briefly.

  4. 04

    In a wide pan, melt the brown sugar over medium heat until it turns into a deep amber caramel.

  5. 05

    Add the salted butter carefully and stir until the caramel becomes smooth.

  6. 06

    Add the potatoes and turn them gently until they are fully coated, glossy, and evenly caramelized.

  7. 07

    Serve the sliced roast pork with the caramelized potatoes.
