INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (4 pound) boneless pork loin roast
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a pot with enough water to cover, boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes. Drain, cool, and place in a bowl. Toss with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, chives, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the pork loin roast with 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, and cook 50 minutes in the preheated oven.
