Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce. Measure ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings) and set aside. Quarter potatoes and toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- While potatoes roast, halve, core and thinly slice apple; stack a few slices at a time and cut into thin matchsticks. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
- In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, apple, mayonnaise, ½ tablespoon vinegar and ¼ teaspoon sugar (1 tablespoon vinegar and ½ teaspoon sugar for 4 servings); season with salt and pepper. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Pat pork dry with paper towels and season all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Lower heat if pork browns too quickly. Turn off heat; transfer pork to a cutting board to rest. Remove any burned bits from pan if necessary (leave the browned bits for flavor).
- If needed, add another drizzle of oil to the pan used for pork. Heat over medium-high heat and add scallion whites; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 30 seconds. Add remaining vinegar and cook until mostly evaporated, 3-5 seconds. Add mustard, stock concentrate and reserved water. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings).
- Thinly slice pork crosswise. Divide pork, slaw and potatoes between plates. Spoon pan sauce over pork and garnish with scallion greens. Serve.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potatoes, make sure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet and don’t overcrowd.
Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
If you don’t have fry seasoning, you can substitute with a mix of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
