1

Put all chicken stock and chicken broth into a large pan and bring to a boil.

2

Slice the salt pork into pieces.

3

In a hot frying pan, cook the salt pork to render off the fat.

4

Once the chicken stock is boiling, add 2 cups of chopped onions and let simmer until soft.

5

Add 2 tablespoons of black pepper to the simmering stock and mix.

6

Remove the cooked salt pork from the heat and set aside, keeping the fat in the pan.

7

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

8

Juice the peeled potatoes quickly to avoid browning, separating the liquid from the pulp.

9

After juicing, you should have about 2.5 cups of liquid from the potatoes.

10

Remove any large chunks of potato from the pulp and add the hot chicken broth to the pulp to stop it from browning.

11

Mix the potato pulp with the chicken broth until you achieve a consistent texture, adding more broth as needed.

12

Add salt and pepper to taste, about 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of black pepper.

13

Pour half of the fat from the cooked salt pork into a 9x13 aluminum pan and coat the bottom.

14

Layer about an inch of potato mixture on the bottom of the pan.

15

Add a layer of chicken on top of the potato.

16

Cover the chicken with another layer of potato, just enough to cover it.

17

Add another layer of chicken on top of the first chicken layer.

18

Top with the remaining potato mixture, filling the pan to the top.

19

Place the reserved salt pork pieces on top of the potato layer, about four pieces evenly spaced.

20

Bake in the oven for 3 hours.
