Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
• Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 10-12 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. • Return potatoes to pot. Mash with sour cream and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While potatoes cook, trim green beans if necessary. Peel and mince garlic. Thinly slice half the lemon. Squeeze juice from remaining lemon into a small bowl (for 4 servings, thinly slice one lemon; halve and squeeze juice from second lemon).
• Toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until ½ inch thick. Season all over with salt and pepper. • Place flour on a plate; season with salt and pepper. Working one piece at a time, press pork into seasoned flour until fully coated. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add coated pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wash out pan.
• Add 3 TBSP butter (6 TBSP for 4 servings), garlic, lemon slices, and lemon juice to pan used for pork. • Return to medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant and butter is flecked with brown bits, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide mashed potatoes, pork, and green beans between plates. Spoon brown butter sauce (with lemon slices) over pork and serve.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
The butter should brown before garlic is added. The garlic started to burn before the butter separated and the true flavor came out. The recipe should be adjusted.
I wish I had known that garlic in lemon turns it green with no ill effects! I threw it out, before I did my research. This is the first time it has even happened to me. Now I know. 😂
Pretty good, a little heavy on the lemon but not bad. Just needed some spice.
