Place the potatoes in a small pot and cover with the water by about 1 inch. Add a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside. Done when tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes cook, heat half the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork, half the remaining salt, and the black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, for 6 to 8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain any rendered fat, remove the pork from the skillet, and wipe the skillet clean. Done when opaque and browned, 160°F.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and the rest of the salt, tossing often for 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
Add the drained potatoes and lemon juice to the skillet with the spinach. Toss to coat and heat through for 1 minute. Serve the garlic spinach potatoes alongside the seared ground pork.
