Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch pieces, slice the Walla Walla onions into thick wedges, chop the parsley, and pat the pork dry.
- Toss the potatoes and onions on a rimmed sheet pan with the olive oil, caraway seeds, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the mustard, vinegar, honey, garlic powder, water, remaining salt, and remaining pepper. Reserve half in a clean bowl for serving and brush the rest over the pork.
- Stir the vegetables and clear a space in the center of the pan. Add the pork and roast everything for 18 to 24 minutes, stirring the vegetables once, until the pork reaches 145°F in its thickest part and the potatoes are tender.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. If the vegetables need more color, return them to the oven during the resting time.
- Slice the pork across the grain. Plate it with the roasted Walla Walla onions and potatoes, drizzle with the reserved mustard sauce, and finish with chopped parsley.
