This recipe combines two classic American dishes into one memorable meal. The key to success is properly timing the pork and potatoes to finish together, and ensuring you don't overcook the tenderloin.
For the best results, remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking. Always let the meat rest before slicing to keep the juices from running out.
