Advise
- As a cut of meat you can also use pork shoulder or pork neck depending on your preference.
- If possible, avoid white-fleshed potatoes, which are very good for making gnocchi but would fall apart too easily in this type of dish.
- Don't worry about being precise when cutting the potatoes, even if there are smaller pieces, they will fall apart during cooking and give more creaminess to the stew.
