Simple Cooking Steps

  1. Prep the ingredients: Peel and chop the potatoes and onions. Mince the garlic. Season the pork roast generously with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  2. Sear the pork: This step is crucial for flavor. Sear the pork roast on all sides in a hot pan until it's nicely browned.
  3. Assemble everything: Toss the potatoes and onions with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Arrange them around the pork roast in a roasting pan.
  4. Roast in the oven: Roast in a preheated oven (around 350°F or 175°C) until the pork is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. The internal temperature of the pork should be around 145°F (63°C).
  5. Let it rest: This is the hardest part. Let the pork roast rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

And there you have it! A delicious and satisfying Roti de Porc Pomme de Terre au Four. Serve it with a simple salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal.

Honestly, the best part is just the smell filling your kitchen while it roasts. It's pure comfort food magic. Go make some! You won't regret it. And hey, send me a picture when you do! Happy cooking!
