Lamb Loin Chops And Basil Potatoes

Lately Lamb is one of my favorite meats to work with. It has a strong distinct flavor which requires little seasoning to end up with good results.

Here is one of the more simple recipes I use. Great for beginner cooks and anyone who doesn't want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen for a great meal.

**Ingredients **

2 lb red potatoes
Olive oil
Sea salt
Black cracked pepper
Dried basil
Garlic powder
Dried Rosemary
Lamb (bone in) loinchops
Apple cider vinegar (for sprinkling lamb chops)

Cube red potatoes into 1" cubes

Place in a glass baking pan in a single layer

Coat potaotes evenly with oil, then lightly sprinkle with salt, black pepper and basil place in oven for approx 40 minutes or until crispy golden brown on edges.

-Evenly coat a skillet with oil for searing the lamb chops it is essential to get a good sear on both sides to seal in the flavor and juices

-Coat chops evenly with olive oil.

-sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and rosemary.

-Place chops in good hot pan (medium high heat) turn on the hood or crack a window it's going to get smoky for a couple of minutes or until they have a nice brown crisp exterior.

-Once you have achieved a good sear sprinkle chops with a few dashes of vinegar this will add a little tang and the acid in the vinegar will make for more tender chops

-Place chops on a baking pan and finish them off in the oven at about 350°F 30 minutes should be about right for a medium well done chop. Adjust according to your preferences.

Hope you try this and enjoy it as much as I do!
