Roast: Roast Pork with Sage and Potatoes




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




4 cloves garlic, chopped

3 T. minced fresh sage leaves (or 3 tsp. dried)

Salt and pepper to taste

About 2 1/2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

4 T. olive oil

3 to 4 lb. pork loin roast, bone in (or 2 lb. boneless roast)



Recipe



Mix together garlic, sage, salt and pepper. In a bowl, toss potatoes with a little olive oil and about 2 tsp. of the spice mixture. Make slits all over the roast and rub in the rest of the spice mixture.

Place roast in roasting pan, surround with potatoes, and drizzle remaining olive oil on top. Roast at 425 degrees for 30 minutes. Lower heat to 325 degrees and continue to cook for about 45 minutes more. During this time, stir the potatoes every 20 minutes or so and baste roast just as often.

When meat thermometer reads 150 degrees, remove pork and let meat rest for 10 minutes. Check potatoes: if they are done, keep them warm. If not, put them back in the oven while the pork is resting.

You can make a gravy with the pan drippings, if desired.
