Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 450°F and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Start the recipe when the oven is ready and the water is boiling. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Core, then cut apple into 1/4-inch slices.
To the boiling water, add potatoes. Cook for 12-14 min, stirring occasionally, until tender. Strain and return potatoes to the pot, off heat. Add 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) milk, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter. Mash until creamy, then season with pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels. Season with Italian Herb Spice Blend and half the garlic salt. In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add pork. Pan-fry pork for 1-2 min per side, until golden-brown.
Transfer pork to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Reserve pork fat in the pan. Roast pork in the middle rack of the oven for 8-10 min, until cooked through.
Meanwhile, reheat the pan with pork fat over medium. Add Gravy Spice Blend and remaining garlic salt. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant. Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until gravy thickens slightly. Remove the pan from heat.
To a large bowl, add Dijon, half the vinegar(use all for 4 portions), 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add apples and baby field greens, then toss to coat. Slice pork, if desired. Plate mashed potatoes and pork. Spoon gravy over potatoes. Serve salad alongside. Enjoy!
