Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Pour 250 ml of water into a roasting dish. Set the pork in it, fat side down, with half the caraway and half the onions. Arrange the potatoes around the pork and roast for 1 hour at 190 °C.

Use a thermometer to check that the meat is fully cooked at the centre, reaching at least 75 degrees Celsius for 30 seconds. Remove the meat and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
