This meal, which can easily be scheduled ahead of time, pulls together the classic combination of pork and potatoes under a blanket of a bright, citrusy, mint vinaigrette. Be sure to pat the tenderloin dry thoroughly before searing for the best browning.

3) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 finely chopped shallot. Allow to sit 10 minutes. Stir in remaining ¼ cup olive oil, 1 bunch finely chopped mint, and 1 large pinch of salt.
4) Once the pork tenderloin has finished cooking, remove from packaging and pat dry thoroughly. Heat a medium cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Add 2 tsp vegetable oil to the pan, swirling to coat. Add the pork tenderloin and sear on all sides for about 30 seconds or until well browned. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into pieces.
5) Drain potatoes and cut in half if desired. Divide potatoes and pork between plates. Drizzle mint vinaigrette over tenderloin and potatoes, and serve.
