What's for dinner?

Tonight for dinner I made a pork roast, Aldis Homestyle baked beans (heated in the oven) and baked oven fries. I make pork roast exactly the same each time cuz if it ain't broke, why fix it? I tenderize the roast with meat tenderizer for 15 minutes and sprinkle it with McCormick's Chicken Stir Fry seasoning before popping it into a 325-350 degree oven for about 80 minutes till medium well in the center and well done on the ends. Sounds strange but that stir fry seasoning just tastes great on pork roast. Never did use it for chicken stir fry LOL

For the oven fries:
Wash 3 or 4 large potatoes real well then slice them into thin crescents with the skins on. I usually slice them in half first then slice the crescents on each half. Put the taters into iced water for 20 minutes or so (or while you are tenderizing the roast). Line cookie sheets or a large pizza pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with Pam. Drain the potatoes then toss them with some canola oil and place them in a single layer on the foil and pop the tray onto the bottom oven rack. Potatoes will be golden brown when done. Sprinkle them with whatever you prefer. Tonight I used cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and paprika. Of course, you can add sea salt but I preferred not to since there was plenty of salt in the other items I had cooked.
