Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Coat the lamb slices with this mixture and set aside.
  3. Toss the thinly sliced potatoes in melted butter, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. On a baking sheet, arrange the potato slices in stacks, overlapping slightly, to create small towers.
  5. Place the lamb slices on another baking sheet. Roast both the lamb and potato stacks in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Plate the potato stacks and top with sliced lamb. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
