Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 1.5 lbs halved baby Yukon gold potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the potatoes on a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.

  4. Step 4: After the potatoes have roasted 25 minutes, push them to the side and place the lamb chops on the pan. Roast all together for 12-15 minutes until lamb reaches medium-rare (135°F), turning once halfway.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let lamb rest 5 minutes before serving alongside the garlic rosemary potatoes, garnished with extra rosemary if desired.
