Key Ingredients for Perfect Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes
- Pork tenderloin, This is lean and cooks quickly. Don’t confuse it with pork loin, which is larger and requires longer cooking. Look for tenderloins that are uniform in size for even roasting.
- Apple cider vinegar, It adds tang and helps tenderize the pork. You can substitute white wine vinegar or rice vinegar in a pinch.
- Baby potatoes, Their thin skin crisps up nicely. If using larger potatoes, cut them into similar-sized pieces so they cook through at the same rate.
Tools You Need for This Sheet Pan Dinner

Tips for the Best Baked Pork Tenderloin with Crispy Potatoes
Don’t skip the marinating step. Even 30 minutes makes a difference, but overnight gives the flavors time to really sink in. When roasting, use an instant-read thermometer to pull the pork at exactly 145°F. Overcooking is the easiest way to dry out pork tenderloin. After removing from the oven, let the pork rest under foil for at least 5 minutes while the potatoes finish crisping. This keeps all the juices inside.
Expert Tips for Juicy Pork Tenderloin and Crispy Potatoes
For extra crispy potatoes, spread them in a single layer and avoid overcrowding. If the potatoes are larger than bite-size, cut them into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. You can also toss the potatoes in the leftover pan juices after removing the pork for more flavor, but add them back to the oven right away.
Pork Tenderloin Variations to Make It Your Own
If you want to switch things up, try swapping the baby potatoes for sweet potatoes or a mix of root vegetables. You can also add a vegetable like broccoli or asparagus to the pan during the last 10 minutes of roasting. For a spicier kick, add more crushed red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne to the marinade. Need a gluten-free option? Use tamari instead of soy sauce.
What to Serve with Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes
This pork tenderloin and potatoes are a complete meal on their own, but a simple salad or green vegetable rounds it out nicely. Try an easy green salad with lemon vinaigrette, roasted green beans, or sautéed broccoli. For a heartier spread, serve with buttermilk biscuits or cornbread with honey butter. The leftovers also make great sandwiches or salads the next day.
How to Store Leftover Pork Tenderloin with Potatoes
Store leftover pork and potatoes together in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. For best results, reheat in a covered skillet over medium heat with a splash of broth or water to add moisture. You can also reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, but avoid the microwave if you want to keep the potatoes crispy.
How to Freeze and Store Pork Tenderloin with Potatoes
Freeze the cooked pork and potatoes in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. To reheat from frozen, let thaw first for best texture. The potatoes may lose some crispness after freezing, so consider reheating in a hot skillet to help crisp them up again.
Best Ways to Reheat Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes
The best way to reheat leftover pork tenderloin is in a covered skillet over medium heat with a little oil or butter. This adds moisture back and keeps the meat from drying out. Reheat the potatoes in the same pan or spread them on a baking sheet in a 400°F oven for 5-10 minutes. The microwave works in a pinch, but it will soften the crisp potatoes and can dry out the pork.
Pork Tenderloin with Potatoes FAQs
Can I use pork loin instead of tenderloin?
Pork loin is thicker and leaner; it will take longer to cook and may dry out. Stick with tenderloin for this recipe. If you use loin, adjust cooking time and monitor internal temp.
How long can I marinate the pork?
30 minutes minimum, up to 24 hours. Any longer and the acid may start to break down the meat too much.
Can I use regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes?
Yes, cut Yukon gold or red potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Adjust cooking time as needed.
How do I know when the pork is done?
Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part; it should read 145°F. The meat will have a slight blush and be juicy.
