Italian Herb Salted Pork Roast and Potatoes

By Addie

This is an amazing meal. First, it only takes a few minutes to put it in the slow cooker. And it tastes fantastic. The pork roast is tender and full of flavor, thanks to Italian Herb Salt, garlic and white wine.

I’ll definitely be making this one again. Next time, I will add more whole cloves of garlic. Jim and I were searching in the potatoes to find the cooked garlic. They were perfect with the potatoes.

I love a meal that tastes like you’ve slaved over the stove, when you really only spent five or ten minutes putting it in the crockpot. That’s my kind of cooking. (EAT AT HOME)
