Step By Step

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
Place the potatoes in a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle on salt and pepper. Use a spatula to toss the potatoes until they are well coated.
3
Whisk together in a small bowl the mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
4
Using a sharp knife, score the fat layer on the lamb, making cuts no more than 1/2-inch thick and about an inch apart.
5
Using your hands, smear the mustard mixture all over the lamb, making sure to get it into all the cuts and the crevices on the bottom side.
6
Using thin twine, tie up the leg so the meat is a snug package. Place the lamb on top of the potatoes, fatty side up. Roast for 1 ½-2 hours until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium doneness or 145°F for medium-well doneness.
7
Let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes before you cut into it. Serve warm with the potatoes.
