Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Halve 1.5 lbs baby potatoes and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 6 whole garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, season 8 lamb loin chops with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
  3. Step 3: Transfer skillet to the oven and roast lamb chops for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp 135°F). Remove and let rest 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Combine 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, 1 tbsp lemon zest, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl to make mint gremolata.
  5. Step 5: Serve the lamb chops topped with mint gremolata alongside the roasted garlic potatoes.
