HOW TO COOK PATATIM (PATA TIM)

This Patatim recipe is not mine. I just got this recipe from my friend because she asked me to blog it. I did not make any adjustment on the amount of the ingredients as well as the procedure. Patatim is not in my frequently cooked dishes list but i can guarantee you that this dish could be one of your favorite dishes because of the good combination of pork and sauce.
