Herb-Crusted Pork Roast with New Potatoes – Martha Stewart Living

Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
• 1 bone-in pork roast (5 to 6 lbs), frenched, room temperature
• 2 pounds small new potatoes, halved

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees wih rack in lowest third. Mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and sage in a small bowl. Season pork generously with salt and pepper, then coat with half the herb mixture. Place pork, bones facing up, in a roasting pan. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees, and roast, rotating pan halfway through, for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, toss potatoes with remaining herb mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Add potatoes to pan, cut sides down. Roast until pork is browned and registers 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes.

Transfer pork to a cutting board, and let stand for 15 minutes. Cut between ribs to desired portion size. Serve immediately with potatoes.
