Wing Jordan, who came off the bench in the 38-30 defeat at Wellington, scored twice on his first start since the World Cup final after a shoulder injury.
The 26-year-old Crusader touched down for his 32nd and 33rd international tries in his 33rd Test helping New Zealand hit the Pumas for six.
The visitors were blown away by a razor sharp first-half perfor mance from Scott Robertson's side that put the game to bed with a fivetry blitz in the first 40 minutes.
New Zealand were back in black with a bang as they swept away memories of that reverse at the Cake Tin last Saturday to make it a half century of games unbeaten at Eden Park, in a run stretching back to 1994.
This was miles away from their shocker seven days ago and a step up from their two unconvincing wins against England last month which could have left Robertson with three defeats from three in charge with the wind in the wrong direction.
After being starved of scrums in Wellington the All Blacks got the set-piece right with loosehead Tamaiti Williams having a stormer as he made light of the absence of Ethan de Groot. On the other side Tyrel Lomax was part of a front row which decimated the Pumas and gave the Kiwis front foot ball and they did not waste it as the backs ran through their repertoire.
The All Blacks needed this big time with a very critical public jury still out on Robertson despite his unprecedented success at Super Rugby level.
The real test will come when they head to South Africa at the end of the month with the first clash on August 31 at the Springboks' spiritual home of Ellis Park in Johannesburg. But this was good to be getting on with and gave them lift off in the Rugby Championship.
