The trick to this super-moist pork? Rub it with minced garlic and fresh rosemary after browning so those fresh flavorings don’t overcook. Also, be sure to use an instant-read thermometer so the meat doesn’t dry out.

Ingredients

Uncooked lean trimmed pork center loin

1½ pound(s), boneless

Reduced sodium chicken broth

½ cup(s)

Kosher salt

¾ tsp

Black pepper

¾ tsp, coarsely ground

Olive oil

2 tsp

Uncooked baby potatoes

1½ pound(s), Dutch yellow variety, scrubbed and halved

Rosemary

1½ Tbsp, chopped fresh

Garlic

3 clove(s), minced

Instructions

1

Sprinkle pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer pork to cutting board and let cool slightly.

2

Meanwhile, add potatoes to skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned in spots (especially on cut side), about 7 minutes. Add broth and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan. Remove skillet from heat.

3

Mix together rosemary and garlic in cup. Sprinkle all over pork, gently pressing so it adheres. Place pork in 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Spoon potatoes around pork and drizzle with broth mixture. Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 145°F and potatoes are fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours on High.

4

Transfer pork to cutting board. Let stand 10 minutes, then cut into 6 thick slices (or 12 thin slices if you prefer) and arrange on platter. With slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to platter. Spoon pan juices over pork.

5

Per serving: 1 thick slice pork with 3/4 cup potatoes and 1 1/2 tablespoons juices
