A quick and easy dinner recipe featuring juicy lamb chops glazed with garlic butter and served alongside crispy rosemary roasted potatoes. Perfect for weeknights or dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 6 bone-in lamb chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 4 to 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 to 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, diced into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon juice (optional), a squeeze

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry potatoes, then cut into 1-inch chunks.
  2. Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half the chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast potatoes for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crispy outside and soft inside.
  4. While potatoes roast, mix softened butter with minced garlic and remaining rosemary in a small bowl. Set aside at room temperature.
  5. Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil.
  7. Sear lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness, until a brown crust forms.
  8. Lower heat to medium. Add dollops of garlic butter on top of each chop and spoon melted butter over them for 1-2 minutes to baste.
  9. Transfer chops to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  10. Check potatoes for crispiness. Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon juice over lamb chops before serving.

Notes

Let lamb chops come to room temperature before cooking for even doneness. Pat chops dry to ensure a good sear. Do not overcrowd the pan when searing. Rest meat after cooking to keep it juicy. Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispiness. Garlic butter can be made a day ahead and brought to room temperature before use. For dairy-free version, substitute butter with plant-based alternatives and omit lemon juice if desired.
