Pork and Potato Dish

In my family Pork & Potatoes always makes for a good dinner. No matter how I make it my boys are pork and potato lovers.

Hubs being Italian and all he prefers pasta, rice and then potatoes.Since he's been on the road we've been eating potatoes a lot. I love potatoes.



Pork and Potato Dish


This Pork and Potato Dish actually came from an Italian recipe my hubs inherited from his Italian grandma. Originally it is made with chicken and ribs, but I used pork and put my own twist on it.

I didn't have all of the ingredients for the original version so I will have to make it next time and post the original recipe as well.

Ingredients:
  • 1-2 lbs Pork Loin
  • 6 Potatoes (peeled and cut up)
  • 1-2 Red Peppers (sliced in strips)
  • 1 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Italian Parsley
  • Rosemary
  • 4 Cloves Garlic (chopped)
  • Olive Oil
  • 1/2 White Wine




Wash and dry the pork loin. Slice it to any size you want to.

Preheat the oven to 395F.

In a skillet heat up oil and brown the pork.

Put the potatoes into large roasting pan. Coat them with olive oil and mix them all around so they are all covered in oil. Add the pork on top of the potatoes. Salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, rosemary and garlic.

Add mushrooms and peppers.




Cook for 45-60 minutes or until tender. Last 20 minutes add white wine into the roasting pan.
