    While loin is roasting, place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water; add a few pinches of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to pot.

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté onions until translucent. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.

    To make the Huckleberry Purée: Add the huckleberries, sugar, vinegar, wine and beef stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until slightly thickened. Add contents to a blender and purée. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
