Ingredients
- 4 (1-1.5 inch thick) frenched lamb rib chops
- 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 lemon, halved
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Prep Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss cut potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, half the minced herbs, half the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- 2. Season Lamb: Pat lamb chops dry. Rub with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, rest of the minced herbs and garlic, salt, and pepper. Let sit at room temp for 15-20 minutes.
- 3. Roast Potatoes: Place baking sheet with potatoes in preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender-crisp and lightly golden.
- 4. Sear & Finish Lamb: Remove baking sheet. Push potatoes to one side. Heat an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer seared lamb to baking sheet with potatoes. Return to oven; roast 8-12 minutes more, or until lamb reaches desired doneness (125-130°F for medium-rare). Squeeze lemon juice over all during the last few minutes.
- 5. Rest & Serve: Transfer lamb to a cutting board, tent with foil, and rest 5-10 minutes. Serve immediately with roasted potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
