Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops with Garlic Mashed Potatoes

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper with the olive oil to create a marinade.

3.Rub the marinade all over the lamb chops, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

4.In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Set aside.

5.Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated lamb chops and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are browned.

6.Remove the skillet from heat and press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each lamb chop, ensuring they are well coated.

7.Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the lamb chops for about 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.

8.While the lamb chops are roasting, prepare the garlic mashed potatoes. Boil the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

9.Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the minced garlic, milk, and butter. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

10.Once the lamb chops are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

11.Serve the herb-crusted lamb chops alongside the garlic mashed potatoes.
