Ingredients

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 1 boneless pork loin roast (about 2 pounds)

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; mash into a paste. Stir in oil; set aside. Peel potatoes. To achieve rose shape, cut a thin slice off the bottom of potato. make a circular row of downward cuts, each about 3/4 in long, but do not cut all the way through. To expose the petals, starting 1/4 in. above each petal, cut out a small wedge from behind each petal. Repeat with additional layers, positioning petals of new row between the lower row to create a true flower effect.
  • Brush with herb mixture. Brush remaining mixture over pork. Place potatoes on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 40 minutes. Place pork with fat side up on rack in pan.
  • Bake for 1-1/4 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and potatoes are tender. Let roast stand 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 4 servings.
