Rosemary & Garlic-Crusted Pork Loin with Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Kosher salt, divided
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1-1/2 lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
• 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2-lb boneless, center-cut pork loin roast, trimmed

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Combine the rosemary, garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
3. Combine the potatoes, oil, and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt in a medium-size bowl; set aside.
4. Place the pork in a roasting pan (preferably one with a cooking rack) and apply the rub over the surface and sides. Add the potatoes to the roasting pan and cook for 60-70 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 155°F. Let the pork stand for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
