Place the potaotes in a slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Turn on broiler. Place the pork on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Broil, turning once, for 15-20 minutes, or until well-browned. Remove from broiler and drain any collected liquid fat. Place the pork in the slow cooker with the potatoes.

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the curry paste, and fry, stirring occasionally, 3-5 minutes. Whisk in the coconut milk, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and pour the coconut curry mixture over the pork and potatoes in the slow cooker. Cook undisturbed for 6-8 hours on low. At the end of the cooking time, use two forks to gently shred the pork. It should be quite tender.

Serve hot.
