Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield Eight to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds Idaho russet potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin
2 teaspoons salt, plus additional to taste
1 quart milk
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Handful fresh parsley, finely minced
6 large cloves garlic, finely minced
1 leg of lamb, bone in, about 6 to 7 pounds
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup very fine bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large saucepan, bring the potatoes, salt and milk to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally so the potatoes do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring from time to time, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Combine the parsley and garlic and sprinkle half into a large oval gratin dish, measuring about 16 by 10 by 2 inches. Spoon the potato-and-milk mixture into the pan and sprinkle with the remaining parsley and garlic mixture.
  • Carefully trim the fat from the lamb. Season with salt and pepper and place the lamb on top of the potatoes. Roast, uncovered, about one hour, or from eight to 10 minutes per pound. Do not turn the lamb.
  • Combine the ingredients for the herb crust. After the lamb has been roasting for about 45 minutes, sprinkle the meat with the herb, garlic and bread-crumb mixture. Remove from the oven and let sit 20 minutes before serving.
  • To serve, carve the lamb into thin slices and arrange on warmed dinner plates or on a serving platter, with the potatoes alongside.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.

  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing meat or vegetables, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: When cooking meat, use a meat thermometer to ensure that it is cooked to the proper internal temperature. This will help you avoid overcooking or undercooking the meat.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to taste your dish as you're cooking and adjust the seasoning as needed. This will help you create a dish that is perfectly balanced.
