Instructions:
-Let’s prep the pork roast. Score the fat about 1/4 inch deep. This will allow the salt to go deep into the meat. Place the pork roast in the refrigerator and leave uncovered overnight.
-The next day preheat your grill to 350 degrees. (create a 2 zone cooking on your grill) now make the adobo paste.
-In a blender add the adobo ingredients and blend until smooth. Now take out the pork roast and slather it all over, sear the pork roast first. Give it a nice char, then set it opposite of the heat and let it cook until 145 internal temperature.
-When the pork is done, let it rest and let’s make the mashed potatoes.
-Peel the skin off the potatoes and cube them up. Boil until soft. Use a fork to see how tender they are.
-Then strain them and add the butter, milk, and cheese but do not have the flame on. The heat from the potatoes will be enough to melt everything.
-Once the potatoes are well combined, add salt and pepper to taste. Now slice up the pork roast and serve along with the mashed potatoes.
