Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork, fat-side down in a single layer and do not move it for a few minutes, allowing one side to get nice and brown and the fat rendered out. You don’t need to brown all sides unless you want to. I think this method gets the job done in less time.
Toss in the onion and saute a few more minutes just to soften it.
Transfer to slow cooker and add remaining ingredients.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours

Add remaining ingredients and stir to loosen all the bits that are stuck to the bottom.
Cover and bring to simmer. Turn heat to low and simmer 3 hours until pork and potato is very tender. If sauce is too thin (it probably will be) let simmer uncovered another 15-30 minutes to thicken.
