Tips

For a crispier exterior on the pork, sear it in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side before roasting.

You can substitute sweet potatoes with regular potatoes or a mix of both for variety.

For a healthier version, use olive oil instead of butter in the sweet potato mash.

Leftover pork can be sliced thinly and used in sandwiches or salads.

If you prefer a sweeter mash, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to the sweet potatoes.
