Step 6

Cover slow cooker and then turn heat to low. Set timer for 4 hours. Check the temperature of the pork at 4 hours and if the internal temperature at the thickest part has reached 145ºF, then you know it's done. If it's not quite there, continue cooking for up to 1 more hour. The potatoes should also be tender to the touch

Make gravy by turning the heat to medium/high. Bring the gravy to a simmer and then remove about 1/3 cup of liquid and create a cornstarch slurry by whisking it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Pour the cornstarch slurry back into the saucepan and continue to simmer for a few more minutes until thickened. Once thickened, remove from heat.

Tips and Warnings

  • Mashed potatoes- option to skip this part and serve potatoes quartered. Feel free to season after cooking with salt, pepper, and garlic, to taste.
  • Slow cooker temp- we do NOT recommend cooking your pork on high. We tested this and your pork will come out tough if you decide to cook on high. Low and slow is the way to go.
