Note

Optional: Add 5 peeled and quartered potatoes to the pan during the last 45 minutes of roasting. Add an extra 1/4 cup of water as the potatoes will absorb the juices.

Optional Gravy: Use the pan drippings to make gravy. Add 1 cup of water to the drippings and thicken with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or flour mixed with a little cold water.

Ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145ðF (63ðC) for safe consumption.
