Ingredients

  • 8 pieces lamb chops
  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 whole lime

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the 4 potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the potatoes. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes while you prepare the lamb.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, and leaves from 2 rosemary sprigs.

  5. 5

    Rub the garlic-rosemary mixture all over the 8 lamb chops, pressing gently to adhere.

  6. 6

    After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to the sides and place the lamb chops in the center.

  7. 7

    Return the sheet to the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your liking (internal temperature 145°F for medium-rare).

  8. 8

    Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes on the sheet. Cut the lime into wedges and serve the lamb and potatoes with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
