Pulled Pork and Ranch Potatoes

Dinner Tonight: Pulled Pork Roast on Bun w/ Original Ranch Roasted Potatoes


Watching the Food Network early this morning there was several shows featuring Pork. Which inspired my dinner tonight. I made a Pulled Pork Roast, the recipe is listed at the end of the post. I tried J B's Fat Boy Haugwaush Bar B Cue and will be using it again! It's a thick sauce with a bit of sweetness to it. It almost has the taste of Carolina BBQ Sauce but it's thicker. After 5 hours at 275 degrees and 30 minutes at 375 degrees the Pork came perfect! Tender and juicy with fantastic flavor. Served on an Aunt Millie's Slimwich Bun and added Haugwaush (Love that name). As a side had Hidden Valley Original Ranch Roasted Potatoes. One of Hidden Valley best recipes, recipe will follow at the end of the post. Dessert tonight? I doubt it!

Pulled Pork Shoulder

Ingredients

    * 2 Bottles of J B's Fat Boy Haugwaush Bar B Cue (Reserve 1 bottle for sandwiches)
    * 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
     * Sea Salt to taste
    * 7 pound bone-in pork shoulder
    * 10 to 12 cloves garlic, smashed


Directions

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.


Using a paring knife, make 10 to 12 slits in the pork shoulder. Then peel back fat cap but leave attached. Lift fat cap and make slits under cap. Pull cap back down and score top skin with knife. Insert smashed garlic in slits. Salt and pepper the pork and then rub the pork with the Haugwaush, wrap in aluminum foil and place in a roasting pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 5 hours.

Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Remove the aluminum foil and continue roasting for 30 minutes (or desired crispness on skin). Remove pork shoulder from oven and allow to rest for 20 minutes on a chopping board. Pull approximately 2 pounds of pork from the shoulder and chop into small to medium size pieces.


Original Ranch Roasted Potatoes

    * 2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered ( I used Golden New Potatoes)
    * ¼ cup vegetable oil
    * 1 packet (1 ounce) Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
Place potatoes in a gallon-size Glad® Food Storage Bag and add oil; seal bag. Toss to coat. Add salad dressing mix and toss again until coated. Bake in ungreased baking pan at 450°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are brown and crisp.
