Par boiling the potatoes!
We wanna do it for like 5-10 minutes dependant on the size because we want them to get a little soft so that when we rough them up we get difference in texture that makes a crispy skin, but with a super fluffy centre

We want to let the potatoes cool down so let them steam dry.
In the meantime get your baking tray where the potatoes will go and whack some oil in then into your oven. I’ve got it a bit lower than usual because of the lamb, around 190c.
We want the oil to be super hot!!!

Shout out to Nnenna taking this Boomerang of me roughing up the potatoes in the pot looool
Into the baking tray they go! Make sure they’re covered in oil.
We’re gonna whack these underneath our lamb in the oven and the plan is for the juices for the lamb to drip into the potatoes! Let’s see how it goes....

Time to start the gravy. The longer you are cooking your gravy the better. We want as rice a taste as possible none of that watery shit!!!
Today I’ve gone for an onion, garlic, rosemary and thyme base. Sweat these off on a medium low heat for like 10 minutes or so...

FULL DISCLOSURE!!
I was supposed to put flour in before I put my red wine but it’s okay! I’m gonna try and reduce this wine down as much as possible and then I’ll add flour.
Flour is used to make your gravy thicker. Once the flour is incorporated we’ll whack in some stock!

Not quite the drip fest I’d imagined but we’re only 25 minutes in tbf....
A litre of chicken stock has gone in and now we just want to reduce it! Tbf when I took this it was a bit violent so I turned the heat down. Low and slow wins the race!
If you find yourself running out of liquid add more water/stock and go again!!

Took the carrots and parsnips out just before the we’re done and whacked some maple syrup on them.
I’ve run out of honey so this is an alternative and one that’s suitable for vegans!

Lamb is done!
Make sure you let your meat rest guys. I’m gonna cover this with foil and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

Now the lamb is out I’ve ramped up the oven heat to 215c so I can get that crisp on the potatoes. Also loved them from bottom shelf, to top shelf!!!
If you’re wondering what your spuds are supposed to look like.....
I always like to have a leafy option on the roast table. Keeps things a bit light when there’s a lot of heavy options.
Today I’m gonna fry some fresh spinach with bacon and garlic. Here’s the bacon going into the skillet...
