Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Sauce

- 2 tablespoons + 0.9 oz (25 g) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon + 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons (½ dl + 3 msk) fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed rose pepper
- 1.3-1.5 lbs (600-700 g) pork tenderloin
- 3/4 whole leek
- 3/4 cup (2 dl) whipping cream
- 2.2 lbs (1 kilo) almond potatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon + 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup (1 dl) 3% milk
- 1.8 oz (50 g) grated Västerbotten cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Peel and chop the almond potatoes into large chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, then drain the water. Add 25 grams (0.88 ounces) of butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 pinch of black pepper. Mash the potatoes with a fork until smooth.
3. In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the pork tenderloin and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove the pork tenderloin from the pan and set it aside. Add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to the pan and stir to deglaze. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the fresh thyme, parsley, and crushed pink peppercorns to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1 minute.
6. Return the pork tenderloin to the pan and spoon the balsamic sauce over the top. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
7. Remove the pan from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the mashed potatoes and a sprinkle of grated Västerbotten cheese.
