Instructions

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.
