Ingredients

  • Pork roast roughly 2 lbs (1 kg)
  • Potatoes roughly 2 lbs (1 kg)
  • Onions 2
  • Butter 5 Tbsp (75 g)
  • Salt and pepper
  • White wine optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into very thin slices. If you have a fancy slicing machine proudly employ its services, otherwise careful of your fingertips!
  • Chop the onions. Mix together with the potatoes and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Salt and pepper the pork roast and place it in a buttered roasting pan.
  • Arrange the potato-onion mix around the roast and pour over ¼ cup of white wine or water.
  • Divide the butter into small pieces and place these on top of the potato-onion-wine moat.
  • Roast 1 hour 15 minutes, turning the potatoes from time to time. I highly advise using a meat thermometer to ensure that you don’t overcook the roast.
  • Serve the roast sliced and crowned with the delicious simplicity of the country kitchen.
