1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   In a pot, combine quartered potatoes and enough water to cover them.

   Once done, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool before transferring them to a mixing bowl.

   In this bowl, drizzle the cooled potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle in chopped chives, half a teaspoon of dried thyme, half a teaspoon of garlic powder, along with salt and pepper.

    Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 145°F (63°C), which should take about another 50 minutes.
