Lamb Chops With Red Leicester Potato Cake Recipes

BAKED LAMB CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix the olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, grated garlic clove, and some salt and pepper in a shallow dish, which is large enough to hold all the lamb chops in a single layer.

Turn the chops in the dish a couple of times in between.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges.

• Make some space between the potatoes. Place the lamb chops there and continue baking for another 15 minutes. The lamb chops should be pink inside after 15 minutes; if you want them well done, leave them in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes more. If your lamb chops are thinner, check them sooner, you should not overcook them.
