Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

4 lamb chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt to taste

Instructions

In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place lamb chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour marinade over them, and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
While the lamb is marinating, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the cubed potatoes. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot. Add heavy cream, butter, garlic powder, and salt, then mash until creamy and smooth.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving with the garlic mashed potatoes.

Notes

Leftover lamb can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on a skillet over low heat.

For the best results, allow the lamb chops to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, to deepen the flavors. If you prefer a different herb, thyme or oregano can be used as substitutes for rosemary.

When preparing the mashed potatoes, be sure to use starchy potatoes like Russets for a creamy texture. If you’re looking for a lighter variation, you can substitute cream with chicken broth or Greek yogurt.

These lamb chops can be grilled on an outdoor grill or a grill pan; just ensure they’re cooked to your desired level of doneness. Serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
