# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main

8–10 small red or white potatoes, skin on, washed
02 -
1 trussed pork loin (2.3–2.7 kg)
→ Marinade
03 -
Black pepper, to taste
04 -
Salt, to taste
05 -
Pinch of red pepper flakes

60 ml extra virgin olive oil
07 -
5 garlic cloves
08 -
3 rosemary sprigs
09 -
240 ml dry white wine
→ To Prepare Pan
10 -
Olive oil spray or pan spray, as needed
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Let the pork sit on a cutting board for 10 to 15 minutes. Cut it up and put the roasted potatoes on the side when you serve.
02 -
Heat the oven to 200°C. Pop in the pork and potatoes and let them cook for 30 or 40 minutes until the pork hits 63°C inside. Use a thermometer so you can be sure.
03 -
Drizzle that marinade over both the pork and potatoes so they're nice and covered. Chill it in the fridge overnight or leave it out for at least 30 minutes if you're in a rush.
04 -
Cover your roasting pan with a layer of olive oil spray. Spread potato chunks around the edges, cut side down. Put your trussed pork loin in the middle. Sprinkle the top with salt and black pepper as much as you like.
05 -
Put white wine, rosemary, garlic, olive oil, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and tweak the flavor however you want.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Don't know how to truss pork? Your butcher can do it. It cooks more evenly that way.
02 -
Letting the pork rest before cutting stops juices from leaking out and keeps it juicy and soft.
