Loved the potatoes especially. Next time I will double the sauce. I needed 25 minutes for the pork to be fully cooked with 5 additional minutes for resting. Will make again.

Easy, quick prep, simple ingredients and tasty; I did add a little sea salt and fresh ground pepper to tenderloin before roasting.

Simple, quick, easy weeknight dinner that packed a lot of flavor. Made with suggested side of green beans. I accidentally also added 1 small minced chile from the can to the sauce (misread the recipe) but enjoyed the flavor and would do it again.

I can't believe no one has reviewed this. It is simple, quick, and very good!! My potatoes were definitely more browned than the picture and oh so good. The sauce so easy yet really makes the recipe special. Also, the pork got a little browned which made it a tad crunchy on the topside and that added to the flavor. Would definitely serve to company.
