If you're looking for a crowd-pleasing dish, perfect for a weekend of watching sport on the TV, then you'll love this recipe for Sticky Pork Ribs with Baked Potato. The key to sticky pork ribs is in the marinade. This homemade marinade is made from staple, pantry ingredients and is left on the meat overnight, ideally.

The baked potatoes cook at the same time as the ribs making this a low maintenance meal to tend to. For a similar process, be sure to have a look at my Slow Cooked BBQ Beef Brisket.

Ingredient notes:

• Pork ribs: This cut of meat is available from most supermarkets and butchers. I like to buy them when they're on special and freeze them until required.
• Marinade: This tasty marinade is made from a selection of pantry staples. If you don't have garlic powder to hand, you could substitute this for crushed garlic.
• Baked potatoes: For best results, use floury potatoes such as Agria, Red Rascal, Ilam Hardy or Red Jacket for your baked potatoes.

Step by step instructions:

In a container, combine all of the marinade ingredients together. Add the pork ribs and coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 170°C fan bake. Add the ribs to a baking dish and cover with the lid or tin foil, then place in the oven. Place the potatoes on a long piece of tin foil, season with salt, then wrap up tightly. Place in the oven on a rack above the ribs.

Bake for 1 1⁄2 hours then remove the ribs from the oven, use a sharp knife and tongs to carefully separate the ribs.

Brush over any sauce from the bottom of the dish, turn the oven up to 200°C and bake uncovered for 15 minutes until the ribs are caramelised and sticky. Drizzle any extra sauce from the baking dish over the ribs or brush over extra barbecue sauce if they are looking dry.

Sprinkle extra sesame seeds over the top. Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and carefully open the tin foil. Cut an X shape in the top of each once then add butter and sour cream.

Serve the ribs hot with the baked potatoes and coleslaw.

Storage:

As mentioned above, an overnight marinade is ideal for these ribs.

Store any leftover ribs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Either eat cold, or reheat in the oven until piping hot.

Top tips:

For convenience, I often use a bag of pre-made coleslaw from the supermarket for this meal. If you have the time, you could absolutely make your own using my Takeaway-style Coleslaw recipe.
