Rub pork loin with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, 1 tablespoon chopped garlic and half of the chopped rosemary.
Place sliced potatoes on one side of roast and toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, 1/3 of the garlic and the remaining half of chopped rosemary.

Bake for approximately 40 minutes, until internal temperature of pork reaches 145 degrees for some pink or 165 for medium, mostly white. Baking beyond this temperature will make pork too dry.
