Saffron Roasted Potatoes and Pork Tenderloin

This was really simple. I wanted to makes something quick and comforting. I always see saffron rice....why not try saffron potatoes. I must say, this turned out better then I could of imagined. So much flavor and not to mention the amazing color of the potatoes.


This was comforting, simple and an amazing dinner. I hope you try it. I must admit, I was a recipe follower until I started this blog and now I have been creating a lot of my own meals. This one in particular, I am very proud of.


SAFFRON ROASTED POTATOES AND PORK TENDERLOIN
