Cooking method

Step 1:

Here's how to roast a pork joint with potatoes. Start with the meat: rinse the pork well and pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 2:

Peel the garlic and cut it into slivers that aren't too thin. In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper for the marinade.
Step 3:

Cut several small slits into the pork with a knife and tuck a garlic sliver into each one.
Step 4:

Slather the marinade generously over the meat on all sides.
Step 5:

Cover the meat with plastic wrap and let it marinate for an hour to an hour and a half.
Step 6:

Wrap the pork in foil and roast in an oven preheated to 480°F (250°C) for 45 minutes.
Step 7:

Unwrap the pork and transfer it to a sheet pan. Peel, wash, and quarter the potatoes, season them with salt and pepper to taste, then drizzle with vegetable oil. Arrange the potatoes around the meat and top with the tomato halves.
Step 8:

Bake in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for 30–40 minutes, until the potatoes are golden. Dinner is ready to serve!

Baked is my favorite way to cook pork by far. The best part is that you don't need a separate side dish — the potatoes roast right along with the meat. Meat and potatoes is one of my all-time favorite pairings, and I'm sure plenty of you agree. This dish is perfect for a holiday table: give everyone a portion of potatoes and a slice of fragrant pork infused with garlic and marinade. The meat comes out juicy and tender, and roasting is both healthier and tastier than frying. It takes no special skills and very little prep — the main thing is to season the meat and give it time to marinate, then cut the potatoes and tomatoes and slide everything into the oven. If you have the time, let the meat marinate even longer. Give it a try — I'm sure it'll turn out great. Enjoy!
