Step 1

Preheat oven to 220C / 430F (standard oven) or 200C / 390F (fan forced / convection).

Step 2

Toss potatoes in oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter on baking tray.

Step 3

Place in oven for 15 minutes (giving them a head start).

Step 4

Meanwhile, mix the Rub ingredients together in a small bowl.

Step 5

Slather the pork on both sides with the Rub, reserving some Rub for basting. (See notes for marinating)

Step 6

Take the tray out of the oven. Toss potatoes then push them to the edge.

Step 7

Place pork on tray. Bake for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Remove tray from oven, flick to broiler/grill on high (shelf about 20cm/8" from heat source).

Step 9

Flip pork, spoon over reserved rub and dab on sides. (Note 4). Broil 7 - 10 minutes until pretty well caramelised.

Step 10

Remove from oven. Use a brush to get the golden juices off the tray and dab it onto the pork - this is key for flavour and colour! Pop it back under the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish off.

Step 11

Serve, scraping the juices on the tray onto the pork, then garnish with parsley if desired.
