I prep everything beforehand it makes everything so much easier. I cut my potatoes put them in a container. I cut my celery and onions and put them in a separate container. I also cut up my salt pork and pork shank in a separate container ready to go as well.

Heat salt pork, celery and onions, thyme, garlic and onion powder on medium-high heat until translucent stirring consistently to even out flavor and make sure the salt pork breaks up. About 8 minutes.

3 tablespoons of butter and potatoes, smoked shank and tsp salt & cook for another 3 minutes. Picture of those flavors and incorporate together.
