Pork loin is comes from between the shoulder and butt. The center cut of a loin is considered the most tender and lean. This is where all great tenderloins come from, as well as baby back ribs and chops. These are cuts of meat for some of our favorite recipes. For accurately cooked pork please use a meat thermometer. Pork is considered done when the internal temperature is 160 degrees F.

Roasted pork loin with potatoes recipe

Easy pork loin recipe that is sure to impress.

• 2-3 Tablespoons Knox's Chipotle BBQ dry rub spice blend
• Olive oil or butter

• 4 to 6 Medium potatoes
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 2 teaspoon fresh chives
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven or BBQ grill to 325 - 350 degrees F. We give you a range because the temperature may vary with a grill as well as you oven. Also as long as you are within this range you will achieve the desired internal temperature in the right amount of time.

Rub pork loin with olive oil or butter and then with Knox's Chipotle BBQ dry rub. In a shallow roasting pan, bake at 325° for 45 minutes.

While pork loin is cooking, wash and quarter potatoes. Boil in salted water for 10 minutes. Drain and cool then place potatoes in a bowl large enough to toss. Mix together olive oil, thyme, chives, garlic powder, salt and pepper and drizzle over boiled potatoes and toss to coat.

After 45 minutes place potatoes around pork loin in roasting pan and roast an additional 45 to 60 minutes, or until pork registers at least 160 degrees F. on a meat thermometer. Remove from oven, cover roast pork loin and potatoes with foil and let stand for about 15 or 20 minutes loosely covered in foil before slicing. Letting your pork loin stand will allow temperature and liquids to evenly distribute.
