Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Pat pork belly dry. Heat a large skillet over medium-high; lay slices skin-side down without crowding.
Step 3
Cook skin-side down 4–5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook 2 minutes more until meat is warm.
Step 4
Transfer pork to a plate. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium. Add onion rings and cook 3 minutes until soft and lightly caramelized.
Step 5
Whisk remaining 1 tbsp butter with parsley, vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Step 6
Serve pork, potatoes, and onions together. Drizzle parsley sauce over the pork.
