Apples and pork just go together; their love is pure, complete, and goes great with sweet potatoes. Hey, sometimes three's not a crowd, but the charm, and that apple cider sauce that enrobes the pork also goes great with the tater fries. Apple and pork have the love, but so will you and this meal as soon as you take the first bite. Tip: Having trouble cutting that wobbly sweet potato? Trim off 1/4" along its length. Turn sweet potato onto its flat side. You now have a flat base to work from while you cut the remaining sweet potato.
