Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat the 2 lb pork shoulder dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Place the pork in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes, until the surface begins to brown.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, cut the 2 lb potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    After 30 minutes, add the potatoes around the pork. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and toss to coat in the pan juices.

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 45-55 minutes, until the pork reaches 145°F and the potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill before serving.
