Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crispy Herb Potatoes:
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Lamb Chops:
- 8 lamb rib chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Honey Garlic Glaze:
- 1/4 cup liquid honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Roast the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss potato cubes with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- Sear the Lamb: Pat lamb chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and sear for 3-4 minutes until a brown crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Glaze and Finish: Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet. Spoon the bubbling sauce over the chops repeatedly for about 2 minutes until the glaze is thick and sticky.
- Serve: Plate the crispy potatoes alongside the glazed chops, drizzling any extra sauce from the pan over the meat.
Notes
Always pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel before searing to ensure a proper crust. For the best potato texture, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet so they roast instead of steam. Use a meat thermometer to pull the lamb at 135°F for a perfect medium-rare finish.
