The Method

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/ Gas Mark 6).
2
In a large bowl, toss the Jersey Royal potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, crushed garlic, rosemary sprigs (lightly bruised), salt, and pepper.
3
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large roasting tray.
4
Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes.
5
While the potatoes are roasting, season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
6
After the potatoes have been roasting for 20 minutes, remove the tray from the oven. Arrange the lamb chops among the potatoes.
7
Return the tray to the oven and roast for a further 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the lamb chops and your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 55-60°C.
8
Remove the tray from the oven and let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
9
Serve the lamb chops immediately with the crispy roasted Jersey Royal potatoes and sprigs of fresh rosemary for garnish.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the potatoes and lamb chops just before serving.

If you prefer your potatoes extra crispy, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting.

Don't overcrowd the roasting tray, as this will steam the potatoes instead of roasting them. If necessary, use two trays.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness. Remember that the internal temperature will continue to rise slightly as the meat rests.
