Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Bone-in pork loin (about 3-4 lbs)
  • 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, cut into uniform pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4–5 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 4–5 whole fresh garlic cloves (for roasting in pan)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pork and Potatoes: Pat the bone-in pork loin dry with paper towels to help form a crisp crust. Season the pork generously with salt, pepper, and the minced garlic. Toss the Yukon gold potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, chopped rosemary, and thyme, making sure each piece is coated evenly.
  2. Preheat the Oven and Arrange Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pork loin in the center of a large roasting pan and arrange the potatoes evenly around it. Add the whole fresh garlic cloves to the pan to roast alongside.
  3. Roast the Pork and Potatoes: Roast the pan in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes to develop a flavorful crust on the pork. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue roasting for an additional 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
  4. Rest and Serve: Remove the pork from the oven and cover loosely with foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure tenderness. During this time, let the potatoes finish crisping up in the residual heat. Carve the pork loin and serve alongside the golden roasted potatoes.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is perfectly cooked and juicy.
  • Do not skip the resting step; it keeps the meat tender and moist.
  • Cut potatoes evenly for consistent roasting—crispy outside, soft inside.
  • Use fresh rosemary and thyme for the best flavor impact.
  • For extra crispy potatoes, broil for the last 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
