Serious Eats: Talk

Should be easy for most of you...

Posted by brittj8585, June 13, 2008

I'm mostly a read about food and then eat out kind of girl, but lately I have been trying to cook more. I was going to make pork tenderloin with rosemary and thyme and bacon roasted potatoes. However, the oven temperature for the pork is 350, while the potatoes need to be done at 450. I want the nice crisp texture on the potatoes, but I would also like the items to be finished around the same time. Is it possible to cook them together, then take the pork out, and while it rests, crank up the temp on the potatoes? Help please!

Also, should I cook the bacon in a skillet, then pour the fat over the potatoes with some olive oil, and crumble the bacon on top, or will it be ok to just chop the bacon up and let it cook with the potatoes?

I am just trying to avoid another kitchen disaster.....
