Roast Pork with Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Roasted Apples

This is a simple and healthy dish for the new year.  The flavors all come together so nicely too.

Begin by preparing your pork.  Add seasonings and place in roasting pan.  Place apples around the pork.

While the pork is cooking, peel and cube the sweet potatoes.  Boil until soft and tender.

I usually find sweet potatoes so good on their own that I rarely add anything to them after I mash them.  Typically just cinnamon.  Some people like to add brown sugar or butter for some added taste.  Really, the world is your oyster with this one…the choice is yours.

Slice the pork, serve with the apples and sweet potatoes.
