Rub over pork to coat well. Insert garlic slivers in crevices. Place pork, fat side up, in large shallow roasting pan, without rack. Insert meat thermometer, not on the bone.

Stir flour in drippings in pan over low heat and brown. Stir in 1 cup chicken broth and thin if needed with 3/4 cup water. Bring to boiling, reduce heat and simmer, stirring to dissolve browned bits 2 minutes or until thickened and browned. Strain gravy through sieve into saucepan; discard vegetables. Set gravy aside to reheat later. Return pork to roasting pan. Gently toss sliced potatoes with chopped onion, 1 Tbsp chopped parsley, salt and pepper and mix well. Arrange around roast. Heat remaining chicken broth to boiling, pour over potatoes. Brush potatoes with melted butter. Reduce oven to 400º.
