I had this for the 2nd time. This is a definite keeper. The Pork is so tender and all has a good taste and cooked it just like the recipe said.

I generally do not like pork tenderloin as I find it dry. This recipe changed my mind! I followed the cooking method exactly as described in the recipe and the meat was tender and moist. Will definitely make this again.

Had this for dinner tonight. Used a pork tenderloin that was already flavored w/ Italian spices, and I used fingerling potatoes (family doesnt like sweet potatoes) and followed everything else exactly. The meat was tender, moist and so flavorful, the fingerlings needed salt and next time I'll add a little extra season salt. Baked in exactly the time listed, which is often not the case. I will definately have this again. There were leftovers, so we'll see how everything reheats tomorrow.

Loved this recipe! It will be a keeper in our home. Didn't have any seasoned salt to use on the pork so I used a little lemon-pepper seasoning along with the Italian seasoning. I'm not a big sweet potato fan, but these were delicious! Love that it's a gluten-free recipe too since I have a family member with celiac disease.

Seriously am wondering about the cooking time ... this is a pork tenderloin right.....they don't take long....a pork loin roast would. Looking for responses before I try it.

We frequently cook pork tenderloins. This version has been around for a long time. I cannot imagine cooking this for twice the recipe time. It would be really over done and dry. I do understand that some people are in the habit of cooking pork to death. We have a "fast" oven and cook it to 160 F. It is taken out, covered and set to rest for about 10 minutes. It is usually "pink" which is perfect for us. There is no need to cook pork until it is "dead". Once it reaches 140 F it is at a high enough temp that it isn't going to kill you. I also serve it with roasted white potatoes since I

This is a really good recipe. I usually have to cook it longer than they say, too. I also will try this with pork chops, that is a great idea!

Since I'm cooking for just 1,I would use pork chops instead of tenderloin it's too steep for my budget.I love sweet potatoes & I have to say it hard to the dark skinned potatoes.

I love this recipe but I always have to cook it twice as long than what the directions say.
