Simple and quick Pork Tenderloin with Sweet potato fries

Ingredients
1 1/4 pd lean pork tenderloin (usually comes about 2.5lbs because there are two in there...we use 1 and freeze the second)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon salt
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled

Preheat oven to 450*.
Trim fat off tenderloin.
In small bowl mis together 1 tbls. olive oil, the garlic and sage.  Salt and pepper the tenderloin then put into the bowl.  Move it around and rub the mixture onto the tenderloin.  Place on a rimmed baking sheet or jelly-roll pan.
Cut the potatoes into thin slices.  Put into a small bowl.  Drizzle with olive oil or canola oil.  Sprinkle with salt, cinnamon, paprika, and pepper. Toss and put in a single layer onto a baking sheet (lined with foil and sprayed with PAM).

Place both in the oven.  Roast the pork for 20 min or until the center registers at 145*.  Remove pork.  Use a spatula and toss the potatoes around, lower the oven to 400* and cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes or until tender/soft.

Let the pork rest for about 10 minutes before slicing into.

Enjoy!
