Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Prepare the stuffing mix according to package
instructions in a bowl.

3. Place roast, fat side up, on a clean surface. With a
sharp knife, cut along length of pork loin without
cutting all the way through. Open up pork like a
book. Spoon stuffing down center of pork. Close
pork over stuffing. Tie up loin with kitchen twine,
spacing twine about every 1-1/2 inches. Rub pork
with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

4. Stir together the flour, salt and pepper in a small
bowl. Rub the seasoned flour mixture evenly over
the pork loin.

5. Toss together sweet potato chunks and the
remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a roasting pan;
spread out evenly over bottom of pan. Place the
tied pork loin, fat side up, on top of the potatoes
in the roasting pan

6. Roast in 450 degree F oven for about 10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Continue to roast for 55 to 60 minutes or until
instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the
pork, but not in the stuffing, registers 150 degrees
F to 155 degrees F and potatoes are fork- tender.

Let the pork rest for about 15 minutes; temperature of pork should increase to 160¿. Keep the sweet potatoes warm. Remove the twine from the pork loin before slicing. Serve with potatoes.

NOTE: I coated the yams with extra olive oil and added dollops of butter to them. Chicken stock was added for gravy and the roast was seasoned with Rosemary, The roast was cooked @ 450 for ten minutes and then was covered with tin foil and continued cooking between 325-350 for the remaining time. DELICIOUS!
