Mom's Savory Pork Roast

"Yum. This was often warm and waiting for us when we got home from church on Sundays for a big midday dinner. We all fought over the salty, crusty edges of the roast. While the roast rests, there is just enough time to make the pan drippings into a wonderful gravy for mashed potatoes. The servings and cooking time are just approximations. I needed to specify a size for this format to work, but this recipe should work with any size roast.The cooking time should be 30-40 minutes per pound. And the servings are about 3 per pound. (A 2 pound roast seems awfully small to me.)"

directions

  • Buy the best cut of pork that you can afford -- preferably a loin cut. Try to get one that still has quite a bit of fat left on.
  • Cover the roast completely and solidly with seasoned salt.
