INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

boneless pork loin, 2.5 to 3 pound 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
cheese 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 1/2 tablespoons
coarsely cracked black peppercorns 2 large cloves of garlic, minced 1
teaspoon sugar 1 tablespoon olive oil 6 medium russet potatoes,
scrubbed and quartered hot paprika  Using the tip of a sharp knife, cut
slits 1 inch long and 1/4 inch  deep all over the surface of the roast.
In a small bowl, combine  Parmesan cheese, parsley, cracked
peppercorns, garlic, and sugar. Rub  mixture over the surface of the
roast, making sure it gets into the  slits. In a large skillet, brown
seasoned pork roast in oil over  medium-high heat for 10 minutes, until
well browned on all sides.  Place roast on a metal rack or trivet in a
5-quart or larger crockery  slow-cooker. Sprinkle cut edges of potatoes
with paprika and place  potatoes around roast. Cover and cook on low
for 8 to 10 hours or on  high for 4 to 5 hours. Transfer roast to a
carving board and let  stand for 10 minutes before thinly slicing.
Serve with potatoes and  any pan juices.  Prep time: 15 min. Cook time:

My observations: I did some substituting on this (since this was the
first time I'd prepared it, I figured my family would never know).
Romano for the Parmesan, dried parsley for fresh (decreasing the
amount used), and I couldn't figure out how to crack my peppercorns
(call me an idiot) so used coarsely ground pepper, again decreasing
the amount. Also, there was no way this could be sliced "thinly". It
just fell apart. But it was really tasty regardless of the changes.

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
