Ingredients
- 1 LGCM Leg of Lamb
- Greek Seasoning
- 2 lb(s) Potatoes (cut into quarters)
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil (gold potatoes are best)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1 Red Onion
- Rosemary (sliced)
- 2 Lemon
Directions
Liberally season the lamb leg with Greek seasoning. Set aside. Add the potatoes to a large bowl and add the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix together to evenly cover the potatoes.
Take a large baking sheet and place a very large piece of parchment paper on the bottom. The parchment paper should be large enough to wrap over the dish to cover the lamb as it is cooking. Add the quartered potatoes over the parchment paper, but on the bottom of the dish and then place the seasoned lamb leg on top. Lay the sliced red onions around the edges. Take the parchment paper and cover the entire dish.
Bake at 350ºF for 2.5 hours, until the lamb is tender. Remove from oven, and let rest. Cut the lamb into slices and serve over potatoes. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary and squeeze lemon wedges on top to brighten up flavors. Enjoy!
