I’ve got a pork roast going in the crockpot today. It’s a teriyaki/soy deal, so I’m debating which starch to serve with it tonight. I’ll be steaming fresh brocolli for sure. So you tell me, would you want

Rice

Potatoes

with your pork roast?

[UPDATE]: We had potatoes. I scrubbed the spuds clean, then diced them. Put the pieces in a ziploc bag then drizzled in olive oil, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Sealed the bag and swirled them around until they were all coated then I poured them onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkled a little kosher salt and put them in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes, turning them once about halfway in. Delish and they went well with the pork, which was also delish.

In the crockpot with the pork roast was:

3/4 cup apple cider
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp black pepper

I think next time I’ll season the meat with Meat Magic as well. I doubled the recipe since the roast I had was almost 6lbs. I had to cut it into two pieces to fit into the pot. I rotated the pieces so that both were in the liquid equally during the day. They came out very tender and moist after 8 hours on Low.
