Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1.5 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 0.5 lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the pork, then season it with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into thin wedges or fries. Place the fries in a large mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned pork tenderloin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the Parmesan-coated fries around the pork in a single layer, ensuring enough space for even cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the baking sheet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, loosely covered with foil, while the fries continue to cook.
Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) and cook the fries for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions. Serve it alongside the Parmesan fries, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
