2. Add the minced pork, followed by the potatoes. Season the mixture with black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika. Adjust seasoning accordingly.
3. Add romesco sauce or a tomato-based pizza sauce. Let it simmer until the pork is cooked with a thick sauce consistency. Turn off heat and set aside until ready to serve.
